Sarmi Regency, Administrative region in Papua, Indonesia
Sarmi Regency extends across 18,034 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from coastal areas to mountainous regions reaching 2,250 meters at Gauttier Mountain Range.
The establishment of Sarmi Regency occurred on December 11, 2002, when it separated from Jayapura Regency to form an independent administrative region.
The region houses multiple indigenous groups including the Sobey, Armati, Rumbuai, Manirem, and Isirawa tribes, alongside settlers from Java, Bali, and Madura.
The regency contains nineteen administrative districts, with transportation infrastructure connecting coastal settlements through a planned railway system linking Jayapura and Nabire.
The Kumamba Islands lie 10 miles north of the Sarmi Peninsula, contributing to the maritime characteristics of this Papua regency.
