North Musi Rawas

North Musi Rawas spans 6,008 square kilometers across southeastern Sumatra, bordered by Jambi Province, Musi Banyuasin Regency, Musi Rawas Regency, and Bengkulu Province.

The Indonesian government established North Musi Rawas on June 10, 2013, by separating seven northern districts from the original Musi Rawas Regency following local demands.

The population includes several ethnic communities, with Malay groups forming the majority, alongside Javanese, Sundanese, Minangkabau, and Chinese inhabitants.

The regency contains 82 administrative villages distributed across seven districts, with Rupit serving as the capital and main administrative center.

Two major waterways, the Musi River and Rawas River, define the geography and name of this regency, supporting local fishing and transportation networks.
