History

The Bulungan Regency was originally co-extensive with what subsequently became the province of North Kalimantan. On 8 October 1997 the town of Tarakan was cut out of the regency to become an independent city. Two years later, on 4 October 1999, the remaining territory of the regency was split to create two additional regencies - Malinau Regency and Nunukan Regency. On 17 July 2007, three more districts (kecamatan) was split from Bulungan Regency to form a new regency, Tana Tidung Regency.{{cite web |title=UU No. 34 Tahun 2007 tentang Pembentukan Kabupaten Tana Tidung Di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur |url=https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Home/Details/39947#:~:text=UU%20No.%2034%20Tahun%202007,Kalimantan%20Timur%20%5BJDIH%20BPK%20RI%5D |website=peraturan.bpk.go.id |publisher=Audit Board of Indonesia |access-date=31 January 2022 |date=2007 |language=id}}

Bulangan Regency had originally been part of the East Kalimantan province, but in 2012 it - together with the areas carved out of it in 1997, 1999 and 2007 - became part of the newly created North Kalimantan province. Tanjung Selor in Bulungan Regency was designated as the province's capital.{{Cite web|title=Sejarah {{!}} Kalimantan Utara|url=https://kaltaraprov.go.id/profil/sejarah|access-date=31 May 2021|website=kaltaraprov.go.id}}
