This article appears in Volume V24, Page 731 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SEVILLE , an inland province of southern Spain, one of the
eight provinces into which Andalusia was divided in 1833;
bounded on the N. by Badajoz, N.E. by
Cordova
 , S. by
Malaga and Cadiz and W. by
Huelva
 . Pop. (1900) 555,256;
area J428 sq. m. The province is bisected by the navigable river Guadalquivir (q.v.), which here receives the Genil and Guadaira on the left, and the Guadalimar on the right. West of the Guadalquivir the surface is broken by low mountain ranges forming part of the Sierra Morena; the eastern districts are comparatively flat and very fertile, except along the frontiers of Cadiz and Malaga, where rise the Sierras of Gibalbin and Algodonales; and there are extensive marshes near the Guadalquivir estuary. Coal, copper, iron ore, silicate of alumina, marble and chalk are the
chief
 
mineral
  products; the province is famous for its oranges, and also exports wheat, barley, oats, maize, olives, oil, wine and chick-peas. Iron-
founding
  and the manufacture of gunpowder and ordnance are carried on by the state, and a
great
  expansion of the other manufacturesleather, pottery, soap, flour, cork products, &c.took place after 1875 owing to the construction of railways between all the larger towns. Cattle-breeding is an important industry in the plains and marshes. Seville (q.v.) is the
capital
  and
chief
  river-port. Other towns described in
separate
  articles are Ecija (pop. 1900, 24,372), Osuna (17,826), Carmona (17,215),
Utrera
  (15,138), Moron de la Frontera (14,190), Marchena (12,468), Lebrija (10,997).
