This article appears in Volume V26, Page 369 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TALCA , a province of Chile, bounded N. by Curico, E. by Argentina, S. by
Linares
  and
Maule
 , and W. by the Pacific. Area 3840 sq. m. Pop. (1895) 128,961. In the E. the Andean slopes cover a considerable
part
  of its territory, and in the W. another large area is covered by the
coast
  range. Between these is the central valley of Chile in which the
population
  and
industries
  of the province are chiefly concentrated. The mountainous parts are well wooded. The intermediate plain, which is
rolling
  and slopes gently to the S., is fertile and devoted to wheat and stock. The
capital
  of the province is Talca (pop. 1895, 33,232; 1902 estimated 42,766), on the Rio Claro, a tributary of the
Maule
 , 156 m. by
rail
  S. of Santiago. It is one of the most important provincial towns and commercial centres of central Chile. There are woollen factories, especially for the universally worn " poncho." Talca has railway connexion with Santiago on the N., with Concepci6n on the S., and with Constituci6n at the mouth of the Maule.
