Mempawah, Coastal regency in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Mempawah Regency extends across 1,935 square kilometers of lowland terrain, with nine administrative districts bordering the South China Sea and Bengkayang territory.
The territory underwent significant changes in 2007 when several northeastern districts separated to form Kubu Raya Regency, reducing its original administrative boundaries.
The regency preserves traditions from the former Mempawah Kingdom, with local communities maintaining distinct practices across its nine administrative districts.
Residents and visitors access government services through the central administration office in Mempawah town, which coordinates activities across all districts.
The entire regency maintains an elevation of approximately one meter above sea level, creating specific environmental conditions for agriculture and settlement patterns.
