Kutai Kartanegara, Administrative region in East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Kutai Kartanegara spreads across 27,263 square kilometers of land and 4,097 square kilometers of water, containing twenty administrative districts along the Mahakam River.

The territory includes parts of the former Kutai Martadipura Kingdom, established in 399 CE as the first Hindu kingdom in Indonesia under King Kudungga.

The region maintains strong connections to the Urang Kutai people, who number approximately 300,000 and speak the Kutainese language along the Mahakam River banks.

The regency capital Tenggarong provides administrative services for a population of 788,113 residents, with transportation networks connecting all major districts.

Parts of Kutai Kartanegara will accommodate Indonesia's future capital city, following President Joko Widodo's announcement in 2019 for relocation from Jakarta.
