Solimandungan

Solimandungan lies in the Bolaang country of northern Sulawesi, near the river valleys that descend from the Mongondow highlands. Local tradition tells of travelling groups who stopped here to wait for companions left behind, a story associated with the name of the place. Bolaang became the seat of a coastal ruler whose seventeenth-century expansion carried the kingdom of Bolaang Mongondow beyond its inland heartland to other ports and settlements of the northern peninsula.
