Sumbawa, Administrative region in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
Sumbawa Regency spans 6,643 square kilometers across the northern and central sections of Sumbawa Island, featuring coastal areas and mountainous terrain at 368 meters elevation.
The region underwent administrative restructuring in 2003 when its western districts separated to form the West Sumbawa Regency, reducing its original territorial coverage.
Twenty-four districts compose the regency, each maintaining distinct local governance systems while operating under the central administration of Sumbawa Besar.
The regency connects to other Indonesian territories through Poto Tano harbor, which provides regular ferry services to neighboring islands including Lombok.
Mount Tambora, located within the regency boundaries, created global climate effects through its 1815 eruption, affecting temperature patterns worldwide.
