History

South Aceh Regency was originally created on 14 November 1956 from the former southeastern districts of West Aceh Regency. On 20 April 1999 its own southeastern districts were in turn split off to create a separate Aceh Singkil Regency, and it was further reduced in size on 10 April 2002 by further districts in the northwest of the regency being split off to create a Southwest Aceh Regency.

Administrative districts

At the time of the 2010 Census, the regency was divided administratively into sixteen districts (kecamatan). Later in 2010, two additional districts (Trumon Tengah and Kota Bahagia) were created by being carved out of existing districts. The districts are listed below with their areas and populations at the 2010 Census [2] and the 2020 Census, [3] together with the official estimates for mid 2023. [1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages (gampong) in each district, and its postal codes.
