Tulang Bawang

Tulang Bawang is an administrative regency in Lampung comprising multiple districts spread across Sumatra. The region has established administrative divisions that help organize local governance and community services.

The region was established as an independent administrative unit in the late 1990s, emerging from a larger territory. Subsequent administrative reforms reshaped its boundaries as part of broader changes in provincial organization.

The name comes from the Tulang Bawang River, which shapes how communities are organized and connected. The connection to water is visible in how local life revolves around fishing and river-based activities.

The region is accessible from Sumatra and has multiple administrative centers that serve as focal points for visitors. Travel is easier during drier months when roads and pathways are more passable.

The region is known for its extensive shrimp farming operations, which represent a major economic activity in the area. Alongside this, traditional farming methods for rice and other crops continue to be central to local livelihoods.
