East Java is divided into 29 [[Regencies of Indonesia|kabupaten]] (or regencies), and 9 [[Cities of Indonesia|kotamadya]] (or cities). This division has remained unchanged since the creation of the province, except for the creation of the new city of '''Batu''' on 21 June 2001 (by separation from Malang Regency). These regencies and cities with their areas and populations at the 2000, 2010<ref name="Biro Pusat Statistik 2011"/> and 2020<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2021"/> Censuses, together with the official estimates as at mid 2024,<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2025">Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 28 February 2025, ''Provinsi Jawa Timur Dalam Angka 2025'' (Katalog-BPS 1102001.35)</ref> are listed below, grouped geographically into five (unofficial) sub-regions entirely for convenience of access. The sub-regions have no official status. These regencies and cities are divided as at 2023 into 666 districts (''kecamatan'') which are in turn composed of 8,494 administrative villages (rural ''desa'' and urban ''kelurahan''):
