Bengkayang Regency
Bengkayang Regency is a regency in West Kalimantan Province of Indonesia,. The area was originally a part of Sambas Regency, but following the expansion of the population in that area, Sambas Regency was divided into a smaller Sambas Regency and a new Bengkayang Regency on 20 April 1999, and then Singkawang City was subsequently cut out of Bengkayang Regency on 21 June 2001. The regency now covers an area of 5,382.74 km2, and had a population of 215,277 at the 2010 Census and 286,366 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 303,422. The administrative centre is in the town of Bengkayang.
Bengkayang is in northern West Kalimantan, sharing a border with Sarawak in Malaysia. With arable land and favourable relief, the agricultural sector is the main economic source. Bengkayang is also rich in natural resources.
Bengkayang is still lagging in term of economic development, but there is a hope that providing local autonomy will catalyze development. A water processing plant has been developed, so the population can enjoy access to clean water.
Administrative districts
When Bengkayang Regency was established, it originally composed of ten districts, with the most recent at that time being Jagoi Babang, which was split off from the northern part of Seluas district in 1996 when the regency is still part of Sambas Regency. On 21 June 2001, Singkawang officially established as an autonomous city by splitting it off from Bengkayang Regency, reducing the number of districts of that regency to seven. In 2002, three new districts were established, increasing the districts back to ten. In 2004, another four new districts were established, increasing the number into fourteen districts. In 2006, three more districts were established.The regency is thus now divided into seventeen districts, tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census and the 2020 Census, together with the official estimates as at mid 2024. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district, and its post code.
