Kolonodale was originally the capital of Morowali Regency. 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.[1]

On April 12, 2013, North Morowali Regency was established, partitioned from the Morowali Regency, with Kolonodale as its principal town.[2]

Climate

Kolonodale has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round.
