Originally, this area comprised those districts of the former Yapen Waropen Regency which lay on the Papuan mainland, but that regency was split in two on 12 November 2002, to form the Waropen Regency on the Papuan mainland and the Yapen Islands Regency consisting of Yapen Island and some smaller islands in Cenderawasih Bay.
The languages of the East Geelvink Bay family that is Waropen language are spoken in the regency.[5] While the main ethnic groups that inhabit this regency are the Waropen people, and the Biak who generally inhabit coastal areas.[6]
