Polewali Mandar, Administrative regency in West Sulawesi, Indonesia

The regency spans across 2,074 square kilometers of diverse terrain, encompassing coastal areas along the Gulf of Mandar and mountainous regions inland.

In 2004, Polewali Mandar transitioned from South Sulawesi to become part of the newly established West Sulawesi province through administrative restructuring.

The population of 495,371 residents represents multiple ethnic groups, including Mandar, Buginese, Javanese, and Toraja, each maintaining their traditions.

The regency contains sixteen administrative districts with 144 rural villages and 23 urban centers, connected through a network of roads from the capital Polewali.
