History
Raha town was founded in 1906 by the Dutch Colonial Government, and at the same time became the capital of the Muna (Wuna) Kingdom which was moved from Kotano Wuna. The regime of Raja Muna La Ode Ngkalili was overthrown, with the appointment of La Ode Ahmad as the Netherlands appointee in Muna. Economic development followed in 1910, with construction of the central market in 1920, construction of air infrastructure and facilities in 1930, and construction of cotton plants in 1937. During the Japanese occupation of 1942–1945, Raha was the seat of the Bunken Muna government. On 14 July 1959, Raha officially became the capital of Muna Regency. In 2015, the Indonesian Government was considering proposals to separate Raha from Muna Regency and establish it as an autonomous city within Southeast Sulawesi.
