Jayawijaya Regency is one of the regencies (kabupaten) in the Indonesian province of Highland Papua. It occupies an area of 13,925.31 km2 in the Baliem Valley, situated in the central highlands of the province. It had a population of 196,085 at the 2010 Census,[2] and 269,553 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as of mid-2023 was 282,497.[1] Its regency seat is the town of Wamena.

History

As created, Jayawijaya Regency covered an area coincident with the whole of what in 2022 became Highland Papua Province. However, on 11 December 2002 three new Regencies - Bintang Mountains Regency (Kabupaten Pegunungan Bintang), Tolikara Regency, and Yahukimo Regency - were created from parts of Jayawijaya Regency. Subsequently on 4 January 2008 another four new Regencies - Lanny Jaya Regency, Central Mamberamo Regency (Kabupaten Mamberamo Tengah), Nduga Regency, and Yalimo Regency - were created from further parts of Jayawijaya Regency. All eight regencies were brought together again in 2022 in the new province of Highland Papua.
