Mamuju is the capital of the Indonesian province of West Sulawesi. The city was formerly part of South Sulawesi province.
Mamuju is a relatively quiet and small town. Throughout the town, there are night-watch stations, where elders and other members of the community will meet and ensure the order of the town during the night. Traditional forms of transport include rickshaws.
Education in Mamuju extends up to SMA III (Year 12) and people from surrounding areas (especially the area of Kalumpang) will travel to Mamuju to further their education. For students that wish to pursue a tertiary education must travel to larger towns like Makassar.
Agriculture in this area includes: nangka (jackfruit), rambutan, durian, beras (rice), and pisang (bananas).
Like many places in West Sulawesi, Mamuju is a predominantly Muslim city, with many mosques throughout. However, Christianity has established a presence with several churches in this town. Buddhism is an extremely small contingent of the peoples faith and Hinduism is realistically a blend of adat and Islam.
