Tangerang Regency is a regency (kabupaten) of Banten Province, Indonesia. It is located in the northwest of the island of Java. Though commonly misunderstood as being a part of Jakarta, Tangerang is actually outside Jakarta City but is part of Greater Jakarta (which is called Jabodetabek, Tangerang being the "ta" of the acronym). Originally created in 1950 and then including 1,371 km2 of territory to the west of Jakarta, since 1993 the regency has lost territory as first Tangerang city (Kota Tangerang) was split off on 27 February 1993 and subsequently South Tangerang city (Kota Tangerang Selatan) was split off on 29 October 2008.

The residual Regency now has an area of 1,034.54 km2 and a population of 2,834,376 at the 2010 census,[2] growing to 3,245,619 at the 2020 census;[3] the latest official estimate (for mid 2024) by the regency-level Indonesian Statistics Bureau is 3,373,149 (comprising 1,716,685 males and 1,656,464 females), reflecting a recent slowing down in the rate of population growth since 2020.[1] However, the province-level organisation of the same Indonesian Statistics body has published its own total of 3,400,490 for the regency. Interestingly, if the two cities had not been split off in 1993 and 2008, on its original boundaries the regency would have had 6,764,000 inhabitants as at mid 2024, giving it the largest population of any regency in Indonesia.

The current regent (bupati) is Andi Ony Prihartono (from 21 September 2023). The town of Tigaraksa is the regency seat.

Tangerang Regency is bounded by the Java Sea to the north, by Jakarta city, Tangerang city and South Tangerang city to the east, by Bogor Regency (in West Java) to the south, by a small section of Lebak Regency to the southwest, and by Serang Regency to the west.

Tangerang city was formed as an autonomous city on 27 February 1993 out of districts in the eastern part of the Tangerang Regency. The city was previously an administrative city within that Regency.

From 1993 until 2008, Tangerang Regency was divided into 36 Districts (kecamatan). On 27 October 2008, seven further districts in the south-eastern part of Tangerang Regency were cut out to form the South Tangerang autonomous city/municipality. They were Ciputat, Ciputat Timur (East Ciputat), Pamulang, Pondok Aren, Serpong, Serpong Utara (North Serpong) and Setu Districts. After losing seven districts, which were removed to form the new South Tangerang municipality, the Tangerang Regency administration planned to divide three of the remaining 29 districts into six in the near future. "We have conducted a study on the regional division, and the results suggest the division of Rajeg, Pakuhaji and Teluknaga districts", Muhamad, administration affairs chief at the regional administration said in April 2010. But these new districts have not materialised by 2024.

## Administrative districts

[edit]

Following the creation of the cities of Tangerang and South Tangerang from parts of the regency, the present Tangerang Regency now comprises the following 29 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 2024.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (comprising 246 rural desa and 28 urban kelurahan), and its postal codes.

The districts are grouped below for ease of reference into five geographical areas (which have no administrative significance). The first sixteen districts in the following table indicate those sixteen districts in the southwest of Tangerang Regency which would remain in the putative renamed "Tigaraksa Regency" if government proposals to divide the existing Regency were to be carried out. The last thirteen districts are those districts in North Tangerang which would then form a separate "North Tangerang Regency". Other proposals which were considered involved creating a "Central Tangerang Municipality" (from Curug, Kelapa Dua, Legok, Pagedangan and Cisauk Districts) with some 686,055 inhabitants in mid 2024, and creating another municipality in the north-east of the regency (from Sepatan, Sepatan Timur, Pakuhaji, Teluknaga and Kosambi Districts) with some 637,294 inhabitants in mid 2024.
