History

On 18 December 2003, Tojo Una-Una Regency was created out of the eastern portion of Poso Regency.[4]

Administration

At the time of the 2010 Census, the Tojo Una-Una Regency was divided into nine districts (kecamatan). Subsequent to 2010, three additional districts have been created - Batudaka, Ratolindo and Talatako. These 12 districts (6 on the 'mainland' of Sulawesi and 6 forming the archipelago of the Togian Islands) are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010[2] and 2020[3] Censuses, together with the official estimates as at mid 2022.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district, and its post code.

The best place to do diving is Una Una volcano island.

Based on Badan Koordinasi Survei dan Pemetaan Nasional (Bakosurtanal) or Coordinating Agency for Surveys and Mapping, there are 33 dive sites disperses from north to south beaches of the Togian Islands with fringing reefs, barrier reefs, patch reefs and atolls. The area has the third most biodiversity in the world and is a series of Bunaken National Marine Park and Raja Ampat Islands.[5]
