West Tanjung Jabung, Administrative regency in Jambi Province, Indonesia.
West Tanjung Jabung is an administrative regency in Jambi Province located along the eastern coast of Sumatra. The territory spans roughly 5,000 square kilometers and is divided into thirteen administrative districts, with administrative services coordinated through Kuala Tungkal.
The territory was created in October 1999 when the original Tanjung Jabung region was divided into eastern and western sections. This division shaped the modern administrative structure and boundaries that define the regency today.
Kuala Tungkal, the administrative center, shapes daily life through its port activities and riverside communities along the Tungkal River mouth. People here are deeply connected to the water, whether through fishing, trade, or regular river use.
The region is accessed through Kuala Tungkal, where administrative services are centrally provided for all thirteen districts. Visitors should be aware that accessibility between individual districts varies depending on seasonal and weather conditions.
The thirteen districts such as Batang Asam, Betara, and Bram Itam together form a network of varied activities ranging from agriculture to maritime trade. Each district plays its own role in this regional economy and contributes to a complex web of local practices.
