Poso, Administrative district in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Poso Regency extends across 7,438 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, including the Fennema, Toneba, and Verbeek ranges in Central Sulawesi.
The regency of Poso was established in 1959 and underwent territorial changes in 1999 and 2003 when Morowali and Tojo Una-Una regions separated.
