On 14 December 2012, the Indonesian Parliament approved the establishment of a new East Kolaka Regency (Kolaka Timur), to be split off from the existing Kolaka Regency; the new regency - which came into effect on 11 January 2013 under Law No. 8 of 2013 - comprised nine districts of the existing Kolaka Regency; subsequently an additional three districts have been created by splitting existing districts. These are detailed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 census[3] and the 2020 census,[2] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 117 rural desa and 16 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
