Madiun Regency

Madiun Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Madiun; Javanese: ꦩꦢꦶꦪꦸꦤ꧀) is a landlocked Regency in East Java province, Indonesia. It covers an area of 1,113.63 km2, and had a population of 662,278 at the 2010 Census and 744,350 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 738,240 (comprising 365,331 males and 372,909 females). It is bordered by Bojonegoro Regency in the north, Nganjuk Regency in the east, Ponorogo Regency in the south, and Magetan Regency and Ngawi Regency in the west, while the independent city of Madiun (not included in the above figures) is an enclave within the regency. Its capital was formerly the city of Madiun, but it was moved to Mejayan District by Government Regulation No.52 in 2010. However, Government Regulation No.3 of the Year 2019, as a revision of Government Regulation No. 52 of the year 2010, mentions that the capital of Madiun Regency is now called "Caruban", not Mejayan. Most government buildings are located in areas that are part of the Caruban District. Other buildings will be moved gradually from the City of Madiun and the move began in 2011. In everyday conversation, Madiun Regency residents use the Javanese language with the dialect or dialects of Mataraman Madiun which is more inclined to accent Surakarta/Sala.
