History
File:Lambang Kabupaten Pasir.png
On 26 June 1959, Pasir was first established as a regency in East Kalimantan, after being separated from Kotabaru in South Kalimantan, for "historic and social-economic reasons". At the time of its formation, it originally consisted of four districts as mentioned: Central Pasir, North Pasir (not to be confused with Penajam North Paser), Pasir Hulu, and South Pasir.{{cite web|url=https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Details/51518/uu-no-27-tahun-1959|title=UU No. 27 Tahun 1959|website=peraturan.bpk.go.id|access-date=2024-12-30}} Meanwhile, it largely inherited the borders from {{ill|Onderafdeeling Pasir|id}}, with the exception of parts south of modern East Kalimantan–South Kalimantan border. Twenty-eight years later, on 13 October 1987, Pasir annexed the district of Penajam, then known as Balikpapan Seberang.{{cite web|url=https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Details/64196/pp-no-21-tahun-1987|title=PP No. 21 Tahun 1987|website=peraturan.bpk.go.id|access-date=2024-08-23}} The northeastern districts were later separated on 10 April 2002 to form Penajam North Paser.{{cite web|url=https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Details/44430/uu-no-7-tahun-2002|title=UU No. 7 Tahun 2002|website=peraturan.bpk.go.id|access-date=2024-08-25}} On 22 August 2007, Pasir was officially renamed to Paser by the regional government.{{cite web|url=https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Details/4771|title=PP No. 49 Tahun 2007|website=peraturan.bpk.go.id|access-date=2025-01-22}}
