Morowali

Morowali is a regency spanning varied terrain across Central Sulawesi with nine administrative divisions. The territory includes different geographical features ranging from lowlands to elevated areas.

The regency was formed from Poso in 1999 and later split into two separate areas in 2013. These administrative changes shaped the governance structure seen today.

Multiple ethnic communities live here and maintain their traditions despite industrial growth transforming the landscape. People balance work in modern sectors with connections to their cultural heritage.

The region functions as an industrial production hub with multiple processing facilities. Visitors should expect infrastructure primarily designed for commercial operations rather than tourism.

The area has grown rapidly through extraction of raw materials used in global battery production. This activity has transformed the local economy in a relatively short period.
