Rukwa Region is one of Tanzania's 31 administrative regions with a postcode number 55000 . The regional capital is the municipality of Sumbawanga. According to the 2012 national census, the region had a population of 1,004,539.[1]{{rp|page 2}} For 2002-2012, the region's 3.2 percent average annual population growth rate was tied for the third highest in the country.[1]{{rp|page 4}} It was also the twentieth most densely populated region with 44 people per square kilometer.[1]{{rp|page 6}}

The region is bordered to the north by the Katavi Region, to the east by the Mbeya Region, to the south by Zambia, and to the west by Lake Tanganyika, which forms a border between Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

History

The region's name comes from Lake Rukwa, which harbours the largest population of crocodiles in the nation.{{Citation needed|date=July 2013}} It is the region of the Fipa people, who maintain themselves by subsistence agriculture and livestock keeping.{{Citation needed|date=July 2013}}

The Rukwa Region was established in 1975 by President Julius Nyerere by taking Mpanda District from Tabora and the former unified Sumbawanga District from the Mbeya Region. Nkasi District was established in 1984.[2] In 2012, the region was reorganized with the Mpanda District going to the new Katavi Region.
