The regency seat is Pringsewu, located 37 kilometres from the provincial capital of Bandar Lampung. The regency was created on 29 October 2008.
The regency name came from Javanese language terms "Thousand ("sewu") bamboo ("pring")", as the location of the town was once a bamboo forest.
Administrative districts.
Administratively at 2010 the regency was divided into eight districts ("kecamatan"). However, since 2010 a ninth district (Pangelaran Utara) has been created from part of the existing Pangelaran District, bringing the total to nine districts. These are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census, together with the latest official estimates (for mid 2017). The table also includes the number of administrative villages (rural "desa" and urban "kelurahan") in each district and its post code. 
Note: (a) the 2010 population for the new Pangelaran Utara District is included with the figure for Pangelaran Distriuct, from which it was separated.
