The province was established in 1927.[2] In 2005, the territory of the province of Nuoro was substantially reduced as a consequence of the establishment in the island of four new provinces; subsequent administrative reforms have increased its size once again in 2016, through the annexation of 22 out of the 23 communes which made up the short-lived Ogliastra.
In April 2021, under Sardinian Regional Council's Regional Law Nr. 7,[3] the annexation was reversed, restroring the Ogliastra province and reducing the province of Nuoro back to pre-2016 borders (plus the comune of Seulo that was previously located in the Province of South Sardinia).[4] Whilst the Italian government challenged the law,[5] thus stalling its implementation,[6] on March 12, 2022, the Constitutional Court ruled in favor of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia.[7] On April 13, 2023, the regional council, at the proposal of the regional government, approved an amendment to the 2021 reform, defining the timeframe and manner of its implementation, which would see its full implementation in 2024.[8]
Parks located in the province include the National Park of the Gulf of Orosei and Gennargentu.
It is known for its purported high concentration of centenarians and supercentenarians. From 5 March 2001 to 3 January 2002, Antonio Todde, from Tiana, was the oldest man in the world. It's is also one of the so-called blue zones.
