Following the independence of Indonesia, the island of Bangka was subdivided into five administrative regions (kewedanan). Belinyu was made the seat of the North Bangka kewedanan, and while the other four kewedanan eventually became regencies, Belinyu was absorbed into Bangka Regency. ==Administration== Belinyu is subdivided into seven urban villages (kelurahan) and five rural villages (desa). ==Gallery==
