Centro Habana was established as an administrative division in 1963 and later formally made its own municipio in 1976.[4]
In 2004, the municipality of Centro Habana had a population of 158,151.[2] With a total area of 4 km2 (1.5 sq mi),[1] it has a population density of 39,537.8 inhabitants per square kilometre (102,402/sq mi).
