East Kotawaringin Regency

East Kotawaringin Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Kotawaringin Timur) is one of the thirteen regencies which comprise the Central Kalimantan Province on the island of Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. It originally covered a much larger part of the province, but on 10 April 2002 several districts in the west of the regency were split off to form the new Seruyan Regency, and several districts in the east of the regency were similarly split off to form the new Katingan Regency. The population of the residual East Kotawaringin Regency was 374,175 at the 2010 Census,[2] and 428,900 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 436,079 (comprising 224,238 males and 211,841 females).[1] The town of Sampit is the capital of East Kotawaringin Regency.
