Manokwari Regency
Manokwari Regency is a regency in West Papua, Indonesia. Following the splitting away of twenty of its former districts in 2013, it now covers an area of 4,650.32 km2 and had an official estimated population of 173,020 in mid 2018.[2] The administrative centre (regency seat) is presently at the town of Manokwari, which is also the capital of the province, but under proposals currently under consideration by the Indonesian Parliament, the town (comprising Manokwari Barat and Manokwari Timur Districts) is intended to be split off from the regency to form a separate independent city.

Administration
At the 2010 Census, Manokwari Regency comprised 29 districts (Kecamatan) with an area of 34,970 km2 and a 2010 Census population of 187,726, but in 2013 two new regencies - South Manokwari Regency (Manokwari Selantan) with six districts, and Arfak Mountains Regency (Pegunungan Arfak) with ten districts - were created from parts of the Manokwari Regency, while the most westerly four districts (Kebar, Amberbaken, Mubarni and Senopi) were removed from Manokwari Regency and added to the Tambrauw Regency.
The residual area of Manokwari Regency thus comprised nine districts, listed below with their areas and their 2010 Census populations,[3] together with the most recent official estimates for mid 2018.[4] The table also includes the number of administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district, and its postal code.
