Change history
Before World War II, the Solomon Islands were divided into twelve administrative districts (...): Choiseul, Eastern Solomons, Gizo, Guadalcanal, Lord Howe, Malaita, Nggela and Savo, Rennell and Bellona Islands, Santa Cruz, Shortlands, Sikaiana (Stewart), Ysabel and Cape Marsh (...) Source: Encyclopædia Britannica World Atlas, 1951 edition.
Around 1945 the capital of country was moved from Tulagi to Honiara.
Postwar division of Solomon Islands (...): these districts were further subdivided into councils (in some cases one council was one district): Central, Eastern, Malaita, Western.
The Provincial Government Act of 1981 established seven provinces:

Eastern district split into Makira and Temotu provinces;
Central district split into Central, Guadalcanal, and Isabel provinces;
Malaita and Western districts became provinces.
The new provinces were the same as the council areas under the previous system.
Around July 1983, the Capital Territory split from Guadalcanal district.
On 25 February 1995, Choiseul province split from Western. Possibly on a different date, Rennell and Bellona split from Central; Capital Territory merged with Guadalcanal.
Other names of subdivisions
Choiseul: Lauru (variant)
Makira: Makira and Ulawa (variant)
Temotu: Eastern Islands (variant)

The photo shows the parade on the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of the independence of the Solomon Islands. On the car of the "Ministry of Provincial Governments" are provincial flags. All flags are unknown to me. This photo show but the real existence of Solomon Islands provincial flags.
