North Sulawesi (Indonesian: Sulawesi Utara) is a province of Indonesia. It is located on the island of Sulawesi, and borders the province of Gorontalo to the west (which was originally a part of North Sulawesi until 2001, when it seceded to become a province of its own). The islands of Sangihe and Talaud form the northernmost part of the province, which border Davao del Sur in the Philippines. The capital and largest city in North Sulawesi is Manado.

Famous quotes containing the word north:
“So-called Western Civilization, as practised in half of Europe, some of Asia and a few parts of North America, is better than anything else available. Western civilization not only provides a bit of life, a pinch of liberty and the occasional pursuance of happiness, it’s also the only thing that’s ever tried to. Our civilization is the first in history to show even the slightest concern for average, undistinguished, none-too-commendable people like us.”
