Sukoharjo Regency is a regency (Indonesian: kabupaten) in the Central Java province in Indonesia. It covers an area of 493.23 km2 and had a population of 824,238 at the 2010 Census[2] and 907,587 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as of mid-2022 was 916,627 (comprising 458,483 males and 458,144 females).[1] Its capital is Sukoharjo, about 10 km south of Surakarta. This regency is bordered by the city of Surakarta in the north, Karanganyar Regency in the east, Wonogiri Regency and Yogyakarta in the south as well as Klaten Regency in the west. The regency is part of the metropolitan zone of Surakarta, which is known as Subosukawonosraten.

Geography

The Solo River (known in Indonesian as Bengawan Solo) "divides" this regency into two parts. The northern part is commonly lowland and wavy, forming the catchment area of Surakarta city, while the southern part is mountainous.

Near the northern border are the suburban areas surrounding Surakarta City such as Grogol, Baki, Gatak, and Kartasura, which lie within the metropolitan area of that city. Kartasura is the junction of the Solo-Yogyakarta track with Solo-Semarang.

Sukoharjo Regency is crossed by the Solo-Wonogiri railway, which re-opened in 2004 after being unused for many years. This railway is one of the most "dangerous" ones in Indonesia because it is located beside the main road without any barrier.

Climate

Sukoharjo has a tropical monsoon climate (Am) with moderate to little rainfall from June to October and heavy rainfall from November to May. The following climate data is for the city of Sukoharjo.
