History
On 18 December 2003, Tojo Una-Una Regency was created out of the former north-eastern districts 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][5] and 2020[3] Censuses, together with the official estimates as at mid 2024.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages in each district (totaling 134 rural desa and 12 urban kelurahan), and its post code.
