Pasaman

The regency of Pasaman stretches across 3,947 square kilometers of land, containing twelve districts with Lubuk Sikaping as its administrative center.

Established on October 8, 1945, Pasaman emerged as an official regency following Indonesia's declaration of independence from Dutch colonial rule.

The name Pasaman reflects the harmonious relationship between the Minangkabau majority and the Mandailing minority tribes who inhabit the region.

Located at an elevation of 1,426 meters, the regency maintains connections through the Trans-Sumatran Highway, which intersects the equator at Bonjol district.

The population density of 79 inhabitants per square kilometer creates a distribution pattern across mountains, valleys, and administrative centers.
