Administration

At the 2010 Census, Manokwari Regency comprised 29 districts (Kecamatan) with an area of 34,970 km2 and a 2010 Census population of 187,726,[3] but in 2013 two new regencies - South Manokwari Regency (Manokwari Selatan) with six districts, and Arfak Mountains Regency (Pegunungan Arfak) with ten districts - were created from parts of the Manokwari Regency, while the most westerly four districts (Kebar, Amberbaken, Mubrani and Senopi, which were the largest in area of the remaining districts, although sparsely populated) were removed from Manokwari Regency and added to the Tambrauw Regency.

The residual area of Manokwari Regency thus comprised nine districts, listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[3] and the 2020 Census,[2] together with the official estimate as at mid 2022.[1] The table also includes the location of the district centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 164 rural kampung and 9 urban kelurahan), and its postal code.
