In 1950, United States of Indonesia dissolved itself into a unitary state
and began to divide its region into provinces. In 1958, by the Indonesian statute of law (Undang-Undang) No. 64/1958, three provinces were established in the Lesser Sunda Islands
, namely Bali
, West Nusa Tenggara
and East Nusa Tenggara provinces. According to the law, East Nusa Tenggara province includes the western part of Timor

was formed after splitting East Flores Regency
. In 2002, Rote Island
was split from Kupang Regency
, forming the new Rote Ndao Regency
. The following year, Manggarai Regency was split into two and a new West Manggarai Regency
established. In 2007, the administration of East Nusa Tenggara province was expanded more by the establishment of new four regencies. Therefore, as of 2007, there were nineteen regencies and only one autonomous city (Kupang
) in the province; a further regency - Savu Raijua (comprising the Savu Islands group) - was later established.
