The Districts of South Sulawesi are an administrative division for South Sulawesi, a province of Indonesia that is made up of regencies and independent cities which are both in turn divided into districts called Kecamatan. Five years after independence, the government issued Law No. 21 of 1950, which became the basis of the legal establishment for what was then the Sulawesi province. Ten years later, the government passed Law No. 47 of 1960 which endorsed the formation of the South/Southeast Sulawesi province. Four years after that, with Act No. 13 of 1964, the provinces of South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi were separated. Forty years later, the South Sulawesi government was split into two, with the regencies of Majene, Mamasa, Mamuju, Pasangkayu, and Polewali Mandar having been separated off to form a new West Sulawesi province on 5 October 2004 under Act No. 26 of 2004. Regencies and cities Following the splitting away of part (five regencies) of the province to form a separate West Sulawesi Province in 2004, the remaining South Sulawesi Province was divided into twenty regencies (kabupaten) and three independent cities (kota), but a twenty-first regency - North Toraja - was formed on 24 June 2008 from the northern half of Tana Toraja Regency. These regencies and cities are listed below with their areas and their populations as of the 2010 Census and 2020 Census, together with the official estimates as at mid 2021.
