Administrative districts

Manggarai Regency was one of the original regencies of East Nusa Tenggara Province, but was reduced in area and population on 25 February 2003 when some of its western districts were split off to form the West Manggarai Regency, and then again on 17 July 2007 when some eastern districts were split off to form the East Manggarai Regency. The remaining Manggarai Regency as at 2010 was divided into nine districts (kecamatan), but since 2010 three additional districts – Cibal Barat, Reok Barat and subsequently Satar Mese Utara – have been created by splitting of existing districts. The districts are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 census[3] and the 2020 census,[4] together with the official estimates as at mid 2022.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district, and its postal codes.
