Manokwari, Capital regency in West Papua, Indonesia.
Manokwari covers 2,762 square kilometers of coastal land with mountains reaching elevations of 573 meters in the western part of New Guinea.
The region transformed from a British spice trading post in 1793 to a Japanese military base in 1942, leading to significant changes in local governance.
The State University of Papua conducts research on traditional herbal medicine practices while preserving knowledge from local tribal communities including the Arfak people.
The regency contains nine administrative districts including Warmare, Prafi, and West Manokwari, with a population exceeding 200,000 residents as of 2023.
The Doreri Bay area combines mountains with sea access, creating natural harbors that support both maritime activities and terrestrial agriculture.
