History

The regency was split off from Bengkalis Regency on 4 October 1999.[3]

Administrative districts

As at 2010, the regency was divided into thirteen districts (kecamatan), but two additional districts (Kubu Babusalam and Pekaitan) were created by splitting of the Kubu and Bangko districts respectively; and more recently three more districts (Tanjung Medan, Bagan Sinembah Raya and Balai Jaya) were added by splitting of the Pujud and Bagan Sinembah districts respectively. The eighteen districts are listed below with their areas and populations at the 2010 census and the 2020 census.[4] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, and the number of villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district.
