Its capital was at [[Godthaab]] (modern Nuuk).<ref>Brewster, David. "[https://books.google.com/books?id=xQ0bAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA89 Greenland]". ''The Edinburgh Encyclopedia'', Vol 10.

In 1911, as the administration of the colony was removed from the [[Royal Greenland Trading Department]] and folded into the [[Danish Ministry of the Interior]], a provincial council ({{lang-langx|da|landsråd}}) was established. It was elected indirectly from the local councils and had little say in the management of the colony.
It was united with [[North Greenland]] in 1950.{{verify-inline|date=April 2012}}
