The Bulangan Regency was originally co-extensive with what subsequently became the province of North Kalimantan. On 8 October 1997 the town of Tarakan was cut out of the regency to become an independent city. Two years later, on 4 October 1999, the remaining territory of the regency was split to create two additional regencies - Malinau Regency and Nunukan Regency. On 17 July 2007, three more districts (kecamatan) was split from Bulungan Regency to form a new regency, Tana Tidung Regency.[4]
Bulangan Regency had originally been part of the East Kalimantan province, but in 2012 it - together with the areas carved out of it in 1997, 1999 and 2007 - became part of the newly created North Kalimantan province. Tanjung Selor in Bulungan Regency was designated as the province's capital.[5]
The regency is divided into ten districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (a total of 74 rural desa and 7 urban kelurahan), and its postal codes.
