Manggarai Regency is a regency in East Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia, situated on the island of Flores. Established in 1958[2] the regency was reduced in size and population by the separation of Manggarai Barat regency in 2003 and of Manggarai Timur regency in 2007. The area of the residual Manggarai Regency is 2,096.44 km2 and its population was 292,037 at the 2010 Census[3] and 312,855 at the 2020 Census.[1] The capital of the regency is the town of Ruteng.

The Liang Bua archeological site is in Manggarai regency, about 10 km to the north of Ruteng.

Administrative Districts[]

The Manggarai Regency as at 2010 was divided into nine districts (kecamatan), but since 2010 three additional districts - Cibal Barat, Reok Barat and more recently Satar Mese Utara - have been created by splitting of existing districts. The districts are tabulated below with their areas and their 2010 Census populations[3] and the 2020 Census.[1] The table also includes the number of administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district, and its postal codes.
