South Solok, Administrative region in West Sumatra, Indonesia

South Solok extends across multiple districts with geographical features ranging from plains to hills at an elevation of 261 meters above sea level.

The establishment of South Solok as an independent regency occurred on January 7, 2003, marking a new chapter in West Sumatra's territorial organization.

The region preserves Minangkabau traditions through its architecture, particularly the Rumah Gadang houses that characterize the local building style.

The capital city Padang Aro functions as the administrative center, coordinating services across seven districts including Koto Parik Gadang Diateh and Sangir.

The territory contains multiple nagari, traditional village units maintaining their own governmental systems within the Indonesian administrative framework.
