Tanah Bumbu Regency

Tanah Bumbu is one of the regencies in the Indonesian province of South Kalimantan. It was formerly part of Kotabaru Regency, but was split off on 25 February 2003 to form a separate regency, following dissatisfaction on the Kalimantan mainland territories with administration from Laut Island. It covers an area of 4,890.3 km2 and had a population of 267,929 at the 2010 Census[2] and 322,646 at the 2020 Census;[3] the latest official estimate (as at mid 2022) is 335,079 (comprising 171,902 males and 163,177 females).[1] The regency's capital is the town of Batulicin.
