Five years after independence, the government issued Law No. 21 of 1950, which became the basis of the legal establishment for the Sulawesi province. Ten years later, the government passed Law No. 47 of 1960 which endorsed the formation of the South/Southeast Sulawesi province. Four years after that, with Act No. 13 of 1964, the provinces of South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi were separated.

Forty years later, the South Sulawesi government was split into two, with the regencies of Majene, Mamasa, Mamuju, Pasangkayu, and Polewali Mandar having been separated off to form a new West Sulawesi province on 5 October 2004 under Act No. 26 of 2004.

Regencies

Following the splitting away of part (five regencies) of the province to form a separate West Sulawesi Province, the remaining South Sulawesi Province is divided into twenty-one regencies (kabupaten) and three independent cities (kota), listed below with their areas and their populations as of the 2010 Census and 2020 Census.[1] The table also includes the number of districts (kecamatan) in each regency or city, its administrative capital and its Human Development Index for 2018.
