West Kutai Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Kutai Barat) is a regency (kabupaten) in the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan. It previously covered a much greater area, with a population of 165,091 at the 2010 Census, but in December 2012 the five northernmost districts were split off to form a new Mahakam Ulu Regency; the residual area of 20,384.6 km2 had a population of 140,097 at the 2010 Census, and 165,938 at the 2020 Census.[2] The town of Sendawar is the administrative capital.
Administrative Districts[]
Following the removal of the northern five districts in December 2012 to form the new Mahakam Ulu Regency, the residual West Kutai Regency is divided into sixteen districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their 2010 and 2020 Census populations.[3][4] The table also includes the number of administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district, and its postal codes.
