About Sampit
Sampit is a large town located in East Kotawaringin Regency, Central Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. Previously a timber port town situated on the Sampit River, it has grown to be a medium-sized community with a population of 166,773 according to Statistics Indonesia in 2019, with the economy having since divested from timber products. However, the town is not an autonomous city and is not an administrative division in its own right, despite having a sizeable population and urban built-up.
