Mempawah Regency (formerly called the Pontianak Regency) is a regency of West Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. Originally including a wider area of West Kalimantan, this Pontianak Regency was reduced on 4 October 1999 by the north-eastern districts (formerly the majority of the regency's land area) being removed to form a new Landak Regency, and was further reduced on 17 July 2007 by its southern districts cut out to create a new Kubu Raya Regency. Since 2007 the residual regency (now renamed Mempawah Regency) covers 1,935.42 km2, and had a population of 234,021 at the 2010 Census[2] and 301,560 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 312,785 (comprising 159,986 males and 152,799 females).[1] The administrative centre is at the town of Mempawah.

History

[edit]

Based on Government Regulation No. 58 of 2014 (Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 58 Tahun 2014), Pontianak Regency was formally renamed Mempawah Regency after the name of its administrative centre.[4]

Administrative Districts

[edit]

Since the separation of the southern parts of the former Pontianak Regency on 17 July 2007 to form the new Kubu Raya Regency, the residual area - in 2014 renamed as Mempawah Regency - consists of nine districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (a total of 60 rural desa and 7 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
