**Bungku** is a town and the administrative centre of the [Regency of Morowali](/source/Regency_of_Morowali), in [Central Sulawesi](/source/Central_Sulawesi) Province of [Indonesia](/source/Indonesia).[2]

Bungku was originally not the [capital](/source/Capital_city) of Morowali Regency. When Morowali Regency came into being on 4 October 1999, the capital of the new Regency was [Kolonodale](/source/Kolonodale).[3] In 2004, the plan to shift the Morowali capital southeast from Kolonodale to Bungku left non-Bungku residents, both [Protestant](/source/Protestant) and [Muslim](/source/Muslim), feeling further disenfranchised.[4] Accordingly on 12 April 2013 a separate [North Morowali Regency](/source/North_Morowali_Regency) (with its capital at Kolonodale) was established by separating the northwesterly districts from Morowali Regency.

The town is served by [Maleo Airport](/source/Maleo_Airport), opened in March 2017.[5]
