}}Ampara District ({{lang-ta|அம்பாறை மாவட்டம்|translit=Ampāṟai Māvaṭṭam}}; {{lang-si|අම්පාර දිස්ත්‍රික්කය|translit=Ampāra Distrikkaya}}) is one of the 25 districts of Sri Lanka, the second level administrative division of the country. The district is administered by a District Secretariat headed by a District Secretary (previously known as a Government Agent) appointed by the central government of Sri Lanka. The capital of the district is the town of Ampara. The district was carved out of the southern part of Batticaloa District in April 1961.[1][2]

Geography

Ampara District is located in the south east of Sri Lanka in the Eastern Province. It has an area of {{convert|4415|km2|sqmi}}.[3] It is bounded by Batticaloa and Polonnaruwa districts from north, Indian Ocean from east, Hambantota District from south, Badulla and Matale districts from northwest and by the Monaragala District from west and southeast.[1]

Demographics

Population

Ampara District's population was 648,057 in 2012.[2] The district is one of the most diverse in Sri Lanka, both ethnically and religiously.

The population of the district, like the rest of the east and north, was affected by the civil war. The war killed an estimated 100,000 people.[4] Several hundred thousand Sri Lankan Tamils, possibly as much as one million, emigrated to the West during the war.[5] Many Sri Lankan Tamils also moved to the relative safety of the capital Colombo. The war also caused many people from all ethnic and religious groups who lived in the district to flee to other parts of Sri Lanka, though most of them have returned to the district since the end of the civil war.
