Chaouia-Ouardigha

Chaouia-Ouardigha was a former administrative region of Morocco (1997-2015), located in the north-central part of the country, within the historical Chaouia region. 
Its capital was Settat. 
The region, known for its agriculture (grain and sheep), was split after 2015: the province of Khouribga went to Béni Mellal-Khénifra, and the provinces of Benslimane, Berrechid, and Settat went to Casablanca-Settat. 
The name "Chaouia" refers to "land of the shepherds." 
The region has a rich history of Arab and Berber influences and experienced a strong uprising against the French in 1907.
