Gorontalo

From Freepedia

Gorontalo is one of the provinces of Indonesia. It is on the island of Sulawesi, and borders Central Sulawesi and North Sulawesi provinces. Gorontalo was split off from North Sulawesi in December 2000, mostly to separate the administration of the largely Muslim Gorontalese from the Christian-majority Minahasa of North Sulawesi.

As of 2004, Gorontalo Province has four regencies (Bonebolango, Gorontalo, Boalemo, and Pohuwato) and one city (Gorontalo, located at 0°34′ N 123°4′ E). Therefore the name of Gorontalo may refer to three different area names (province, regency, and city). The capital of Gorontalo Province is Gorontalo; the capital of Gorontalo Regency is Limboto. The area of Gorontalo Province is about 12,215 km² with the total population in 2004 about 887,000 people.
