Directory and geographical data


West Papua (Indonesian: Papua Barat) is a province of Indonesia. It covers the two western peninsulas of the island of New Guinea, Bird's Head Peninsula and Bomberai Peninsula, along with nearby islands. The province is bordered to the north by the Pacific Ocean, to the west by the Halmahera Sea and the Ceram Sea, to the south by the Banda Sea, and to the east by the province of Papua and the Cenderawasih Bay. Manokwari is the province's capital, while Sorong is its largest city. West Papua is the least populous province in Indonesia, with a population of 760,422 according to the 2010 census by Statistics Indonesia.

Historically, the coast of West Papua was under control of two Indonesian precolonial monarchies, the Majapahit Kingdom and the Sultanate of Tidore. Since the 16th century, the Dutch had colonized the region before the Japanese briefly ousted them during World War II. After the Japanese surrender, the Dutch remained in New Guinea until 1963 when they transferred the control of the region to the Republic of Indonesia as part of the New York Agreement. Inaugurated as a province in 2003, West Papua was initially named West Irian Jaya (Indonesian: Irian Jaya Barat) until 2007. Consisting of twelve regencies and one city, the province enjoys a special autonomous status as granted by the Indonesian legislation.

West Papua is well known for its Raja Ampat Islands, which contain the richest marine biodiversity in the world. West Papua is still one of the least developed provinces out of Indonesia's 34 provinces, only ranking above the neighbouring province of Papua. However, the government is currently attempting to improve West Papua's infrastructure, such as building the Trans Papua highway to connect all major cities in Indonesian New Guinea and also building more airports and improving existing airports. According to Bank Indonesia, West Papua recorded an economic growth rate of 7.7% during 2018, which is higher than the national economic growth.
