# Gorontalo Regency

Gorontalo is a regency of Gorontalo Province, Indonesia, on the island of Sulawesi. It was established in 1959 under Law No. 29/1959 from the remaining parts of North Sulawesi Regency (not to be confused with the current province), but has subsequently been reduced in area as additional regencies have been cut out of it. It now has an area of 2,189.08 km$^2$ and had a population of 355,988 at the 2010 Census and 393,107 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 418,244 (comprising 210,454 males and 207,790 females). The administrative headquarters of the regency is in the town of Limboto.

## Administrative Districts

At the time of the 2010 Census the Regency was divided into seventeen districts (kecamatan), but two additional districts (Dungaliyo and Bilato) have subsequently been created by splitting of existing districts. The districts are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census and 2020 Census, together with the official estimates as at mid 2023. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 191 rural desa and 14 urban kelurahan - the latter being those comprising the district of Limboto town), and its postal codes.
