Langkat, Administrative region in North Sumatra, Indonesia.

Langkat is an administrative region in North Sumatra comprising 23 districts, with Stabat serving as its administrative center. The region is divided into rural villages and urban settlements connected by transportation networks.

Langkat was established as an administrative region following Indonesia's independence in 1945, integrating traditional governance structures into the modern administrative system. This integration allowed the region to maintain its local institutions while becoming part of the new nation.

The people of Langkat practice local traditions and ceremonies that reflect North Sumatran heritage. These customs are visible in community life and shape the social fabric of the region.

The region is connected by road networks that allow travel between districts and access to both rural and urban areas. Visitors should note that infrastructure development varies by area, and local transportation is the main way to get around.

The region borders the Strait of Malacca, offering opportunities for maritime trade and exchange with neighboring areas. This location as the northernmost administrative region shapes its connections to sea trade routes and neighboring cultures.
