[3] The area that now constitutes Lamandau Regency, centered around the town of Nanga Bulik, was part of the Kotawaringin Kingdom in the early 20th century.

[4] Following the fall of Suharto and the subsequent rapid decentralization, various figures and groups within the region began advocating for the creation of a separate regency comprising the three districts of Lamandau, Bulik, and Delang.

Subsequently, with the enactment of Law Number 5 of 2002, the regency was officially established and inaugurated on July 2, 2002.

The soil composition consists mainly of podzols and latosols, which have poor water retention and absorption but are relatively resistant to erosion.

[7] Nanga Bulik, the capital of the regency, experiences a tropical rainforest climate (Af) characterized by heavy rainfall throughout the year.

[1] The table also indicates the number of villages in each district, their administrative centers, and the corresponding postal codes.

The annual economic growth for the same year stood at 6.45%, indicating signs of recovery from the previous decline during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[17] The regency is a major contributor to agriculture in Central Kalimantan province, particularly known for its production of palm oil and rubber.

In 2022, the regency had a total palm oil plantation area of 24,926 hectares, yielding 110,294.78 tonnes during the same year.

Rice cultivation has become less popular among landowners in the regency, who are increasingly focusing on palm oil and rubber production.

[17] This shift has led to an increase in land conflicts between small-scale farmers and large palm oil companies, as well as significant deforestation within the regency.

This decline was attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted the tourism sector in Indonesia, including in Lamandau Regency.

[3] Accommodation options in the regency include 13 hotels and 8 registered homestays, along with 52 recognized tourist destinations such as waterfalls, rivers, and traditional villages.

[3] The majority of the regency's population are Muslims, numbering 62,354 people in 2022, followed by Protestants at 24,524, Catholics at 16,917, Hindus at 3,227, Buddhists at 66, and 3 individuals practicing other religions.

Only 157.817 kilometers of these roads are paved and sealed with asphalt, representing approximately 28.60%, while the remainder are considered to be in poor condition.

However, plans are underway to construct a new airport to serve the regency, with land preparations currently taking place in Bulik district.
