Mamuju is the capital of the Indonesian province of West Sulawesi. The town was formerly part of South Sulawesi province.
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. Students who wish to pursue a tertiary education must travel to larger towns like Makassar.
Agriculture in this area includes jackfruit, rambutan, durian, rice, and bananas.
Like many places in West Sulawesi, Mamuju is a predominantly Muslim town, with many mosques. However, Christianity has established a presence with several churches in this town, in addition to a small contingent of Buddhists.
Mamuju has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af) with heavy rainfall year-round.
An annual sandeq race takes place every August from Mamuju to Makassar.
