Parigi Moutong

Parigi Moutong is an administrative regency in Central Sulawesi that stretches across a large coastal territory. The region is characterized by landscapes ranging from coastlines to forested hills and valleys.

The region was created in 2002 when eastern districts separated from the former Donggala Regency. This administrative reorganization established an independent government structure for the local population.

The population of 457,031 residents spreads across twenty-three districts, with communities speaking languages from the Tomini-Tolitoli linguistic group.

The main town of Parigi in the southern part serves as the administrative and economic center. Visitors will find government offices and basic services for managing local affairs.

The name combines two districts: Parigi in the south and Moutong in the north, reflecting the region's geographical reach. This naming choice shows how administrative boundaries connect the area's most important settlements.
