History

On 8 October 1996, the Minister of Home Affairs in Jayapura designated Mimika as an Administrative District. After being formed into an Administrative Regency, the District area was determined to consist of: Mimika Timur (East Mimika) District, Mimika Barat (West Mimika) District, Agimuga District, and the expansion area of Mimika Baru District which is domiciled in Timika. After approximately 4 (four) years of the implementation of the Administrative Regency administration, on 18 March 2000, the change of status from Administrative District to Definitive Regency was inaugurated by the Governor of Papua Province, Drs. JP Salossa, M.Si based on Law No.45 of 1999.

Administrative districts

Mimika Regency in 2010 comprised twelve districts (distrik); by 2018 the number of districts had risen to eighteen, all of which are tabulated below with their populations at the 2010 Census and the 2020 Census, as well as the official estimates as at mid-2024. The table also includes the location of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages within each district (totaling 133 rural kampung and 19 urban kelurahan) within each district, and its postcode. This includes Distrik Mimika Barat Tengah (Central West Mimika District) with Indonesia's highest postal code of 99976.
