Ujung Pandang, Administrative district in Makassar City, Indonesia

Located on the southwestern coast of Sulawesi Island, Ujungpandang district features a tropical environment with an elevation of 13 meters above sea level.

The district played a central role in Eastern Indonesian maritime trade during the 16th and 17th centuries before the Dutch East India Company established control.

The district incorporates traditions from Makassarese, Buginese, Torajan, and Chinese communities, reflected in local markets, foods, and social gatherings.

The district contains multiple neighborhoods including Maloku, Mangkura, Pisang Selatan, and Pisang Utara, connected by local transportation networks and pedestrian paths.

Between 1971 and 1999, the name Ujungpandang designated the entire city of Makassar, until officials restored the original name for the metropolitan area.
