North Sangatta (Indonesian: Sangatta Utara, Indonesian pronunciation: [saˈŋata uˈtara]) is an administrative district (kecamatan) of the East Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. It covers a land area of 333.56 km2, and had a population of 72,156 at the 2010 Census and 120,873 at the 2020 Census; as of mid 2024, it was inhabited by 129,849 people. Its district seat is located at the village of North Sangatta.[4]
The district was established on 31 October 2005, after renaming the residual district of former Sangatta,[2] but much of its urban areas are still within the contemporary district. North Sangatta shares borders with Bengalon to the north, Rantau Pulung to the west, and South Sangatta to the south.
History
On 1 December 1989, Sangatta was separated from the former district of Bontang, following the latter's status was elevated into an administrative city (it originally included North Bontang and South Bontang).[1] On 16 July 1999, just months prior the formation of East Kutai, Bengalon was separated from the district.[5] On 31 October 2005, Rantau Pulung, South Sangatta, and Teluk Pandan were separated from Sangatta, and the residual lands were renamed into North Sangatta.[2]
