Lebong Regency
Lebong is an inland regency of Bengkulu Province, Indonesia, on the island of Sumatra. It covers an area of 1,665.28 km2, and had a population of 97,091 at the 2010 Census[3] and 106,293 at the 2020 Census;[4] the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 107,248.[2] Contrary to the popularly-held belief that the town of Muara Aman is the seat of the government of Lebong Regency, the regency's capital is actually located in neighboring Tubei district (previously known as Pelabai), where all the office and judiciary institution is situated. Until 1966 the regency, together with the rest of what is now Bengkulu Province, was part of South Sumatra Province.[5] It formed part of Rejang Lebong Regency until 25 February 2003, when the northwestern districts of that regency were split off to create the new Lebong Regency.
