Kubu Raya Regency

Kubu Raya Regency or Great Kubu Regency is a regency of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It was created on 17 July 2007 from the (larger) central and southern part of Pontianak Regency. It covers an area of 6,985.24 km2, and it had a population of 500,970 at the 2010 Census[2] and 609,392 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2021 was 615,125.[4] The principal town lies at Sungai Raya, directly adjacent to the City of Pontianak. Despite its close location to Pontianak, the regional capital and economic centre of the West Kalimantan Province, Kubu Raya highly lacks sufficient infrastructure development, which causes general suspicions on the performance of its local government.
