Kubu Raya Regency


Kubu Raya Regency or Great Kubu Regency is a regency of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It was created on 17 July 2007 from the central and southern part of what was at that time the Pontianak Regency. It covers an area of 8,568.01 km2, and it had a population of 500,970 at the 2010 Census and 609,392 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as of mid 2024 was 649,870. The principal town lies at Sungai Raya, directly adjacent to the City of Pontianak. Despite its close location to Pontianak, the regional capital and economic centre of the West Kalimantan Province, Kubu Raya highly lacks sufficient infrastructure development, which has caused general suspicions regarding the performance of its local government.
