About
About Bangka
Bangka Regency is a regency (kabupaten) of Bangka Belitung Islands Province in Indonesia. Originally the regency covered the whole of Bangka Island apart from the city of Pangkalpinang on the east coast, but on 25 February 2003 it was divided into four regencies, with three parts of Bangka Regency being split off to form the separate regencies of Bangka Barat, Bangka Selatan and Bangka Tengah.
