City of Sampit

Sampit is a large town located in East Kotawaringin Regency, Central Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. Previously a timber port town situated on the Sampit River, it has grown to be a medium-sized community with a population of 166,773 according to Statistics Indonesia in 2019, with the economy having since divested from timber products. However, the town is not an autonomous city and is not an administrative division in its own right, despite having a sizeable population and urban built-up. It consists of ten urban villages (kelurahan) and two "rural" villages (desa), comprising Mentawa Baru Ketapang District (all except 5 desa in the south of the district), and the whole of Baamang District, as detailed below. The total area of the town is 398 square kilometres and the population was estimated at 167,850 as at mid 2024. In addition, the kelurahan of Mentaya Seberang (administratively part of Seranau District) is situated on the east bank of the Sampit River across from Sampit town ("semerang" in Indonesian means "across" or "on the other side of" [the river]) and covers an area of 253.33 km2 with 3,774 inhabitants in 2024 and a postcode of 74324.
