Batubara Regency is a regency on North Sumatra's eastern shoreline, with Limapuluh as its seat. It was carved out from the seven most westerly coastal districts of Asahan Regency with effect from 15 June 2007. The new regency covers an area of 885.89 km2, and had a population of 375,885 at the 2010 Census[2] and 410,678 at the 2020 Census,[3] of whom 206,551 were male and 204,127 were female; the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 416,367.[1]

Administrative districts

From 2007 until 2017 the regency was divided administratively into seven districts (kecamatan), but at the end of 2017 five additional districts were created by the division of four of the existing districts. The districts are tabulated below from east to west with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] 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 in each district (totaling 141 rural desa and 10 urban kelurahan), and its post code:
