Kubu Raya Regency or Great Kubu Regency is a regency of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It was created on 17 July 2007 from the (larger) central and southern part of what was at that time the Pontianak Regency. It covers an area of 8,567.99 km2, and it had a population of 500,970 at the 2010 Census[2] and 609,392 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 639,250 (comprising 326,731 males and 312,519 females).[1] The principal town lies at Sungai Raya, directly adjacent to the City of Pontianak. Despite its close location to Pontianak, the regional capital and economic centre of the West Kalimantan Province, Kubu Raya highly lacks sufficient infrastructure development, which has caused general suspicions regarding the performance of its local government.

Administrative districts

The Kubu Raya Regency consists of nine districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (all classed as rural desa), and its post code.
