Bandar Lampung

Bandar Lampung (Lampungese: Kutak Bandarlampung; formerly Dutch: Oosthaven, lit. 'Eastern Harbor') is the capital and largest city of the Indonesian province of Lampung. Located on the southern tip of Sumatra, Bandar Lampung was originally called Tanjungkarang–Telukbetung, since it was a unification of two major settlements in Lampung, before being renamed in 1983.[3] The city proper and South Lampung Regency (which borders the city on its northern and eastern sides) are major transmigration recipients. The city's area is about 197.22 km2, with a census population of 1,166,066 in 2020;[4] the official estimate as of mid-2022 was 1,209,937.[1].
