Bangkalan Regency

Bangkalan Regency ' is a regency of East Java province in Indonesia. The name Bangkalan comes from the words "bhângka" and "la'an''", which mean "already dead" in the Madurese language. The seat of its government is the town of Bangkalan. The regency is located on the west side of Madura Island, bordering Sampang Regency to the east, Java Sea to the north, and Madura Strait to the west and the south sides. It covers an area of 1,260.15 km², and had a population of 906,761 at the 2010 census and reached 1,060,377 at the 2020 census; however the official estimate as at mid-2023 showed a decline to 1,047,306, and the mid 2024 estimate showed a further drop to 1,042,031 – comprising 513,154 males and 528,877 females.
In 2009, the Suramadu Bridge was completed, being the first bridge ever to connect Java and Madura islands. The Suramadu Bridge is the longest in Indonesia. Previously, Kamal port was the main gateway between Madura island and Java, where ferries served the port with the Ujung port near Surabaya, but nowadays people prefer to travel across the toll bridge rather than using ferries, so now only a few ferries serve it in the day time only.
Bangkalan Regency is included in the Gerbangkertosusila development region, an extension of the Surabaya metropolitan area.
