Serdang Bedagai Regency is a regency on the east coast of North Sumatra Province of Indonesia, facing Malaysia, with 95 km of coastline and covering an area of 1,900.22 square kilometres, divided into seventeen districts (kecamatan), in turn subdivided into 243 villages.[2] Its administrative centre is the town of Sei Rampah. The regency surrounds the independent city of Tebing Tinggi, and also contains a district (kecamatan) by the same name (Tebing Tinggi District surrounds the city on its west side, while Tebing Syahbandar District surrounds the city on its east side). The name "Serdang Bedagai" was derived from the two Sultanates which formerly existed in the Region; they were Serdang Sultanate and Padang Bedagai Sultanate. The population was 592,922 at the 2010 Census,[3] while the 2020 Census produced a total of 657,490;[4] the official estimate as of mid-2024 was 691,638 (comprising 348,200 males and 343,438 females).[1]
To the north is the Malacca Straits, to the west is Deli Serdang Regency (surrounding Medan), to the south and southeast is Simalungun Regency, and to the east are the Buaya River and Ular River bordering Batubara Regency, which was formed in 2006 from the western part of the Asahan Regency.
