History of the kingdom
The city of Palu originated from the unity of four villages, namely: Besusu (Pandapa), Tanggabanggo (Siranindi) now called Kamonji, Panggovia now called Lere, Boyantongo now called Kelurahan Baru. They formed a customary council called Patanggota. One of the duties was to select the king and his assistants. The kingdom of Palu gradually became one of the most well-known and influential kingdoms.
In 1796 – 1960 the Palu Kingdom still used the monarchy system of government and the first capital was named Pandapa (1796-1888), then the second capital was named Panggovia started running from 1888-1960, and when the Republic of Indonesia became independent in 1945, in 1960 the Palu Kingdom stepped down and joined Indonesia.
