Ogan Komering Ilir

Ogan Komering Ilir is an administrative region in South Sumatra shaped by two major rivers that run through its territory. The area spans diverse landscapes with Kayu Agung serving as its main administrative center.

The territory gained regency status in 1956 following Indonesian independence. It was previously part of the Palembang Residency during the Dutch colonial period.

The area is home to Malay, Javanese, and Balinese communities who keep their customs alive through local celebrations and traditional ceremonies.

The region is divided into 18 districts that together encompass around 327 administrative villages. Access and communication use area codes starting with +62 712 and postal codes beginning with 306.

The region contains vast floodplain lakes that serve as natural habitats while supporting agricultural use. These wetland areas play an important role in both the local economy and the ecosystem.
