Gorontalo, Province of Indonesia in Sulawesi island.

The province of Gorontalo extends horizontally across the central part of the Minahasa peninsula, covering 12,215 square kilometers between the Celebes Sea and Tomini Gulf.

The region gained its provincial status in 2000 through Law Number 38, after separating from North Sulawesi province under the Indonesian Ministry of Justice approval.

The inhabitants of Gorontalo communicate in both Indonesian and Gorontalo languages, maintaining regional traditions alongside modern administrative practices.

The province contains five regencies plus one city, with the capital Gorontalo City serving as the main administrative and economic center of the Tomini Gulf area.

The marine territory of Gorontalo encompasses over 50,500 square kilometers, including an exclusive economic zone that extends to the Philippine border.
