Waru is a district of Penajam North Paser Regency, in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. As of 2023, it was inhabited by 20,965 people, and currently has a total area of 553.38 km2. Its district seat is located at the village of Waru.[1]
The district borders Penajam to the north, Babulu to the southwest, and Long Kali (Paser) to the west. It is also named after the tree Hibiscus tiliaceus (waru), for being abundant along what is now the Penajam–Babulu provincial road.[3] Along with Babulu, this modern-day region originally belonged to Kotabaru of South Kalimantan until 1959, and remained as part of Pasir before joining the newly-formed regency of Penajam North Paser in 2002.
