West Kotawaringin, Administrative region in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

West Kotawaringin extends across 10,816 square kilometers of land, encompassing six districts with Pangkalan Bun serving as the administrative center.

The territory underwent significant changes in 1959 when the original Kotawaringin Regency divided into eastern and western sections, followed by additional separations in 2002.

The residents of West Kotawaringin maintain strong connections to Ngaju traditions, with local customs reflecting the motto Habaring Hurung for community cooperation.

Transportation services connect the regency to major centers through regional networks, with primary access points located in the capital city of Pangkalan Bun.

The region contains multiple protected forest areas at 21 meters above sea level, supporting both local industries and natural resource conservation efforts.
