Batu Bara, Administrative regency in North Sumatra, Indonesia.
Batu Bara is an administrative regency on the eastern coast of Sumatra with Lima Puluh as its administrative center. The territory spans several districts connected by road networks, with main government services concentrated in the capital.
The regency was established on January 1, 2007, when seven coastal districts were separated from the existing Asahan Regency. This administrative division created a new governing unit for the eastern coastal region.
Local communities here maintain traditional textile crafts, especially songket weaving, which carries forward generations of artistic knowledge and skill. This handcraft tradition remains visible in everyday life and continues to define local identity.
The best time to visit is during the dry season when roads are in better condition and travel is easier. Visitors should expect to rely on local transportation and plan for longer travel times between districts.
The area is home to the Kuala Tanjung Port project, a major maritime development initiative for the region. This project is reshaping the local economy and making it a growing center for maritime trade.
