Pohuwato, Administrative regency in Gorontalo, Indonesia
Pohuwato extends across 4,244 square kilometers of northern Sulawesi, featuring coastal areas, inland communities, and agricultural regions at 314 meters elevation.
The region formally separated from Boalemo Regency in 2003 through Law Number 6, establishing Marisa as its administrative center and capital.
The thirteen districts of Pohuwato maintain traditional Indonesian social structures through a network of rural desa and urban kelurahan administrative divisions.
The regency contains multiple districts including Buntulia, Dengilo, Duhiadaa, and Lemito, with Marisa serving as the primary economic and administrative hub.
In September 2023, local miners protesting for ancestral land rights caused significant changes to the region by burning the regent office.
