It was created in 1959, originally spelt "Pasir Regency" (Indonesian: Kabupaten Pasir), but renamed "Paser" in 2007; however its northeastern districts were split off on 10 April 2002 to form the new North Penajam Paser Regency. The residual regency covers an area of 11,603.94 km2, and it had a population of 230,316 at the 2010 Census[2] and 275,452 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid-2023 was 303,424 (comprising 156,903 males and 146,521 females).[1] Its administrative centre is the town of Tana Paser (or Tanah Grogot).
