Bengkayang, West Kalimantan, South Borneo, Indonesia
🇮🇩 Bengkayang Regency (孟嘉影) is a regency ("kabupaten") in West Kalimantan Province of Indonesia, (on the island of Borneo). The area was originally a part of Sambas Regency, but following the expansion of the population in that area, Sambas Regency was divided into a smaller Sambas Regency and a new Bengkayang Regency on 20 April 1999, and then Singkawang City was subsequently cut out of Bengkayang Regency on 21 June 2001. The regency now covers an area of 5,382.74 km². The administrative centre is in the town of Bengkayang.
Bengkayang is in northern West Kalimantan, sharing a border with Sarawak in Malaysia. With arable land and favourable relief, the agricultural sector is the main economic source. Bengkayang is also rich in natural resources.
Bengkayang is still lagging in term of economic development, but there is a hope that providing local autonomy will catalyze development. A water processing plant has been developed, so the population can enjoy access to clean water.
Administrative districts The regency is divided into seventeen districts (kecamatan): • Sungai Raya (Raya River); • Capkala; • Sungai Raya Kepulauan (Raya River Islands)(a); • Samalantan; • Monterado; • Lembah Bawang (Onion Valley); • Bengkayang; • Teriak; • Sungai Betung (Betung River); • Ledo; • Suti Semarang; • Lumar; • Sanggau Ledo; • Tujuh Belas; • Seluas; • Jagoi Babang; • Siding.
