history

The history of Southeast Sulawesi began in the 13th century with the establishment of the Butonesian Kingdom. The art and culture that emerged at that time has been preserved for many generations to the present day. The relics of this kingdom can be found in the building complex of the Butonesian Palace such as B. Baruga, an old mosque and the Badia Palace again. The region was under the influence of the empire of Bone in southern Sulawesi for a long time, which brought Islam to the province in the 17th century. The Dutch subjugated the area in the 19th century. After a brief Japanese occupation during World War II , it became part of independent Indonesia.

Originally part of the Sulawesi Selatan-Tenggara (Suselra) province as an administrative district, the province became an independent administrative unit of the first order on April 27, 1964 and, when it was founded, consisted of the administrative districts of Buton, Kolaka, Konawe and Muna. Between 2003 and 2014, eleven further administrative districts were created by subdividing these "founders". Previously, the cities ( Kota ) Kendari (1995) and Bau Bau (2001) were formed.
