Regencies and cities

The South Sulawesi Province is composed of two major regions. The first - the southern half - consists of the southern peninsula itself and comprises sixteen regencies plus the independent cities of Makassar and Parepare. The second - the more mountainous and less densely populated northern half - now comprises five regencies plus the independent city of Palopo. Three new regencies and a city have been created in this northern half since the establishment of the province. A new regency (Luwu Utara) was created on 20 April 1999 from the northern part of the existing Luwu Regency; a new city (Palopo) was created on 10 April 2002 from a further part of Luwu Regency; and on 25 February 2003 another regency (Luwu Timur) was formed from the eastern half of the Luwu Utara Regency. Following the splitting away of part (five regencies) of the province to form a separate

Province in 2004, the remaining South Sulawesi Province was divided into twenty
