Bungku was originally not the capital of Morowali. In 1999, the capital of Morowali was Kolonodale. In 2004, the plan to shift the Morowali capital southeast from Kolonodale to Bungku left non-Bungku residents, both Protestant and Muslim, feeling further disenfranchised.[2]
The city is served by Maleo Airport, opened in March 2017.[3]
Climate
Bungku has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with moderate rainfall from September to November and heavy rainfall from December to August.
