Sepulu

Sepulu is a place name used in Indonesia to refer to more than one location. It is most often associated with administrative districts and with villages within various regencies. Because the same name appears in multiple places, a precise article about Sepulu usually specifies the regency or province involved.

Administrative usage: In Indonesian governance, a kecamatan named Sepulu would be a subdivision of a regency (kabupaten) and would contain several desa or kelurahan. The district is overseen by a camat and provides local services, planning, and development within its jurisdiction.

Etymology: The origin of the name Sepulu is not uniformly documented; it may derive from local languages or historical terms. In some locales the name bears a resemblance to the Indonesian word sepuluh (ten), though such ties are speculative and vary by region.

Geography and economy: Locations named Sepulu lie in tropical environments and can be coastal or inland. Economies typically include agriculture, small-scale trading, and, where present, fishing or aquaculture. Population size and demographics vary by district or village.

History: The use of Sepulu for administrative districts reflects broader patterns of Indonesian governance, including colonial-era boundary creation and post-independence administrative reforms that reorganized districts and villages over time.
