Baubau city info

Bau Bau is the main city on southeast Sulawesi's Buton Island in Indonesia. It sits on the southwest coast in the southern portion of the province and has a charming atmosphere and a fine old fort. Bau Bau was head of the Buton kingdom in the 1400s and saw its last Sultan in 1960. It reached the city status in 2001. A port called Murhum serves the city sea transportation with a ferry terminal. The population of the city is estimated at 120,000 people, consisting mainly of the Butonese, Buginese, Moluccan, Javanese, Sundanese and Chinese people.

Many major towns in southeast Sulawesi are quite nondescript, including the capital Kendari on the mainland, yet Bau Bau has plenty of history and old-fashioned charm. During the fifteenth century (1401—1499), Bau-Bau was the center of the Buton (or Wolio) kingdom. In 1542, the kingdom of Button transformed itself into sultanate when Islam entered the area. The last sultan (the 38th) was Muhammad Falihi Kaimuddin in 1960.
