List of regencies and districts of South Sulawesi

The Districts of South Sulawesi are the administrative divisions of South Sulawesi, a province of Indonesia that is made up of 21 regencies and 3 independent cities, which are both in turn divided into districts called Kecamatan.
Five years after independence, the government issued Law No. 21 of 1950, which became the basis of the legal establishment for what was then the Sulawesi province. Ten years later, the government passed Law No. 47 of 1960 which endorsed the formation of the South/Southeast Sulawesi province. Four years after that, with Act No. 13 of 1964, the provinces of South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi were separated. Forty years later, the South Sulawesi government was split into two, with the regencies of Majene, Mamasa, Mamuju, Pasangkayu, and Polewali Mandar having been separated off to form a new West Sulawesi province on 5 October 2004 under Act No. 26 of 2004.

Regencies and cities

The South Sulawesi Province is composed of two major geographic regions. The first - the southern half - consists of the southern peninsula itself and comprises sixteen regencies plus the independent cities of Makassar and Parepare. The second - the more mountainous and less densely populated northern half - now comprises five regencies plus the independent city of Palopo.
The area now within the northern region originally comprised just two regencies, but three new regencies and a city have been created in this northern half since the establishment of the province. A new regency was created on 20 April 1999 from the northern part of the existing Luwu Regency; a new city was created on 10 April 2002 from a further part of Luwu Regency; and on 25 February 2003 another regency was formed from the eastern half of the Luwu Utara Regency. Following the splitting away of part of the original province to form a separate West Sulawesi Province in 2004, the remaining South Sulawesi Province was divided into twenty regencies and three independent cities, but a twenty-first regency was formed on 24 June 2008 from the northern half of Tana Toraja Regency.
These regencies and cities are listed below with their areas and their populations as of the 2010 Census and 2020 Census, together with the official estimates as at mid 2024. The table also includes the number of districts in each regency or city, its administrative capital and its Human Development Index for 2018.
