Malatya was included in the Ottoman provincial organization "Dulkadiriyye/Maraş" State, as "Sancak" in 1516. Although it was transformed into a sanjak of the Harput Province in 1847 during the administrative and administrative arrangements that started with the Tanzimat in the Ottoman provincial organization, Malatya was removed from being a sanjak with the 1867 Provincial Regulations and was attached to the Mamuratü'l-aziz sanjak of the Diyarbakir Province with the status of "Kaza". In 1870, it was raised to the status of sanjak again as a civil administration and joined the Mamuratü'l-aziz Province in 1883 as "Added Livâ" in the distinction of "Independent/Added Livâ", which was put into practice in the Ottoman Empire since 1864. II. After the Second Constitutional Monarchy, and especially during the First World War, laws were prepared for Malatya to become an "Independent Liva", primarily for the purpose of ensuring public order and carrying out transportation and administrative works easily. These regulations have been the subject of discussions in the Ottoman Parliament in the legal sense. Finally, during the National Struggle Period, on May 31, 1920, "Detached Liva" was made with the decision of the First Executive Committee, and it became a province/province with the 89th Article of the Teşkilat-ı Esâsî on 20 April 1924.
