Baubau
At first, Baubau was the center of the Kingdom of Buton (Wolio) which was founded in the early 15th century (1401–1499). Buton began to be known in Indonesian History because it was recorded in the Nagarakretagama text by Prapanca in 1365 AD by calling Buton or Butuni as the Keresian Country (Village) or the residence of the rishis where gardens were spread and phallus and waterways were built with the king having the title His Majesty Mahaguru . The forerunner of the country of Buton to become a kingdom was first pioneered by the Mia Patamiana group (the four people), namely Sipanjonga, Simalui, Sitamanajo and Sijawangkati who, according to oral sources in Buton, came from the Malay Peninsula at the end of the 13th century. The heyday of the Kingdom of Buton (Wolio) to the Sultanate of Buton from its establishment in 1332 to 1960 has left many legacies of a glorious past. Until now, it can still be witnessed in the form of historical and cultural relics such as ancient manuscripts stored in the Laode and Waode lineages on Buton Island, while many other manuscripts were still brought to the Netherlands by the Dutch themselves during their colonial period and archeology such as the tombs of kings and sultans, palace fortifications, gates called lawa, old cannons and many others. Currently, the territory of the former Buton Sultanate has established several regencies and cities, namely Buton Regency, Muna Regency, Wakatobi Regency, Bombana Regency, North Buton Regency, West Muna Regency, Central Buton Regency, South Buton Regency and Baubau City.
