Aceh Jaya, Regency in western Sumatra, Indonesia

Aceh Jaya extends over 3,872 square kilometers along western Sumatra, containing nine administrative districts with Calang serving as its capital center.

The Indonesian government established Aceh Jaya in 2002 by dividing the northern section of West Aceh Regency into a separate administrative region.

The regency maintains multiple ethnic communities, including Acehnese, Javanese, and Gayo populations, each preserving their individual languages and traditions.

Agricultural production in Aceh Jaya focuses on rice cultivation, fruit farming with rambutan and durian, plus commercial crops like rubber and palm oil.

The region reaches an elevation of 749 meters above sea level, creating varied landscapes from coastal areas to inland mountain territories.
