History

In 1892, a Dutch missionary named Albertus Christiaan Kruyt arrived in Poso to carry out his mission. At that time, residents who had settled were in the Sayo area (now in Sayo village) which was the place for boats to land from the estuary of the Poso River. On September 5, 1894, the situation was not safe due to inter-ethnic feuds, and this made Kruyt ask the Dutch East Indies Government to resolve the situation and placed his apparatus in the Poso area led by the controller for the southern part of Tomini Bay who was based in Mapane. On March 1, 1895, the position of controller was transferred to the present Poso city area.[3]

In the 1940s, Poso as an afdeling of the Central Sulawesi Autonomous Region was recommended to become the center of government (capital) of the Central Sulawesi Region, according to the decision of the Confederation of Kings of Central Sulawesi. This recommendation materialized in 1946.[4] The follow-up meeting spearheaded by Magau Palu, Tjatjo Idjazah, was held in Parigi on 27 November to 2 December 1948. This decision was strengthened by a letter of application addressed to Prime Minister Negara Indonesia Timur, Ida Anak Agung Gde Agung, issued on February 8, 1949.[5]

During the Indonesian independence period, the rapidly growing city of Poso was also due to the transmigration program to the area from other areas in Indonesia. Until then, from this diversity, an ethnic group was formed known as a Poso Pesisir people.[6]

Community

The Poso Pesisir people is an ethnic group that has a diverse culture. This is based on the City of Poso as a place of migration by various ethnic groups other than the Pamona and Lage tribes as indigenous people.[7]

Religion

Islam is the majority religion of the Poso Pesisir people. The spread of Islam in the Poso area had been carried out before the Dutch colonial period. Apart from Islam, the Poso Pesisir people also have significant followers of Christianity, especially Protestants. The spread of Christianity in this region began since the Dutch colonial era, where the missionaries began to spread their teachings to the natives.[8][9]
