Central Buton Regency
Central Buton Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Buton Tengah) is a new regency of Southeast Sulawesi established by separation from Buton Regency under Act No.15 of 2014, dated 23 July 2014. It covers an area of 837.16 km comprising the southern parts of Muna Island and Kabaena Island, together with several small offshore islands adjacent to these two main islands, but with no territory located on Buton Island (the title is thus a misnomer). It had a population of 86,112 at the 2010 Census and 114,773 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 121,369. The administrative centre lies at Labungkari in Lakudo District.

Administrative districts

The Central Buton Regency is divided into seven districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and 2010 and 2020 Census populations, together with the official estimates as at mid 2023. The table also includes the location of the administrative centre of each district, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 67 rural desa and 10 urban kelurahan), the number of small offshore islands in each district, and its post code.
