History
During its first years since its creation in 1956, East Kalimantan was composed of three regency-level special regions — Kutai, Berau and Bulungan — all of them were led by the respective sultans. Later on 26 June 1959, Balikpapan and Samarinda were split from the outgoing Special Region of Kutai, while Pasir (later known as Paser) was split from Kotabaru Regency in South Kalimantan and transferred to East Kalimantan, therefore increasing its number to six. At the same time, special statuses of each regency were removed.
On 8 October 1997, a third city – Tarakan – was created from part of Bulungan Regency. On 4 October 1999 a fourth city – Bontang – was created from part of Kutai Regency, while four new regencies were created – Malinau and Nunukan from parts of Bulungan, and East Kutai and West Kutai from the remaining parts of Kutai Regency (which ceased to exist in 2002). Two further regencies were set up – Penajam North Paser from part of Pasir on 10 April 2002, and Tana Tidung from part of Bulungan on 17 July 2007. By early 2012 therefore, East Kalimantan was divided into ten regencies and four cities.
On 22 October 2012, the Indonesian House of Representatives agreed to the creation of a new province out of the four most northerly of the Regencies in East Kalimantan, namely Bulungan, Malinau, Nunukan and Tana Tidung, together with one city, Tarakan. Accordingly, these were split off to form the new province of North Kalimantan on 25 October 2012.
The existing West Kutai Regency was then split into two on 14 December 2012, with the northern districts split off to form the new Mahakam Ulu Regency, thus leaving the following seven regencies and three cities to comprise the reduced East Kalimantan.
