Key Facts

Moraid is a district (kecamatan) located in the southern part of Sorong Regency within the Papua Barat province of Indonesia. Situated in the northwestern region of Papua island, Moraid occupies a strategic position in the Bird's Head Peninsula, bordered by the vast tropical forests and mountainous terrain characteristic of this remote part of Indonesia. The district covers an area of approximately 1,200 square kilometers and serves as home to several indigenous communities, primarily from the Moi ethnic group, who maintain traditional lifestyles while gradually integrating with modern development. Moraid is administratively divided into multiple villages (desa) that are scattered across its challenging topography, with the district center functioning as the primary hub for local governance and basic services. The region's economy is predominantly based on subsistence agriculture, small-scale fishing, and limited natural resource extraction, with transportation infrastructure remaining limited due to the rugged landscape. As part of Indonesia's ongoing efforts to improve administrative services in remote regions, accurate geographical and postal information for Moraid's constituent villages is essential for effective governance and service delivery to its dispersed population.
