Abstract

This article discusses the history of the formation of the Kingdom of Bone since the era of the seven wanuas, namely Ujung, Ta, Ponceng, Tibojong, Tanette ri-attang, Tanette ri-awang and Macege. Each wanua was ruled by a chief who was called ulu anang. The seven wanua then agreed to be united under a ruler, namely Tomanurung ri Matajang who was called Arung Pone/Mangkau ri Bone. This article further describes the existence of a more orderly governance structure with the introduction of several positions and institutions that were important for a kingdom. The administrative infrastructure created had given the Kingdom of Bone the opportunity to grow into a strong Kingdom. However, in the 19th century, during the expansion of Dutch power in Indonesia in general, and Sulawesi in particular has led to the fall of the kingdom of Bone by the Dutch in 1860 as a “loan kingdom” (Leenvorstendom) or Dutch colony after it was defeated by the Dutch. After 1860, various changes were made by the Dutch administration to the administrative structure of the Kingdom of Bone as well as many new positions held by the Dutch administrators were created.
