East Flores Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Flores Timur) is a regency in East Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia. Established in 1958,[3] the regency has its seat (capital) in Larantuka on Flores Island. The regency encompasses the eastern tip of the island of Flores, together with all of the adjacent islands of Adonara and Solor to the east of Flores (and both part of the Solor Archipelago), with some 14 much smaller (and uninhabited) offshore islands. On 4 October 1999, the island of Lembata (formerly called Lomblen) at the eastern end of the Solor Archipelago was separated from the East Flores Regency and formed into its own Regency.
The reduced regency covers a land area of 1,812.58 km2, and it had a population of 232,605 as of the 2010 census[4] and 276,896 at the 2020 Census;[5] the official estimate as of mid 2025 was 296,760 (comprising 146,119 males and 150,641 females),[2] and is projected to be over 301,000 in mid 2026.
Economy
[edit]Since the 2010s, the local government and activists has promoted the cultivation of sorghum, which had previously been a major crop in the area but was displaced by rice cultivation during the 1970s and 1980s.[6]
Administration
[edit]The regency is divided into nineteen districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[4] and the 2020 Census,[5] together with the official estimates as of mid 2025.[2] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 229 rural desa and 21 urban kelurahan), and its postcode.
