Kaur

Kaur Regency extends across 2,365 square kilometers of western Sumatra, containing fifteen districts with Bintuhan as its administrative center at 51 meters elevation.

The regency gained independence from South Bengkulu on February 25, 2003, through Law Number 3, establishing seven initial districts that expanded to fifteen.

The population of 131,063 residents includes multiple ethnic groups such as Basemah, Semende, Kaur, and Lampung, with 99 percent following Islamic traditions.

Local government offices in Bintuhan operate from 8:00 to 16:00, managing services across 192 villages and three urban areas within the regency.

The name Bintuhan derives from 'Bin'tuan', referencing a historical cold outbreak that spread throughout the administrative area during colonial times.
