The city of Tentena became the economic and spiritual center for the Protestant population of Poso, and the center of the synod of the Central Sulawesi Christian Church. The missionary activity of Netherlands began at the turn of the 20th century among these people, effectively proliferated Christianity. Many of these ethnic groups were formerly constituted dynasties and have histories of war between each others. On the other hand, ethno-linguistic groups that include Pamona, Mori, To Napu, Behoa and Bada inhabit the highlands of the regency. Under these circumstances, in the late 1990s, the Muslim population became the majority in Poso Regency with percentages above 60 percent.

The Muslim community here consists of indigenous people, official transmigrants, and economic migrants of various ethnic groups which have settled in this area for decades. The regency is also a focus of the government's transmigration program, which aimed at bringing citizens from densely populated areas, such as Muslim-dominated islands including Java and Lombok, as well as Hindu-dominated Balinese islands, to scarcely populated areas. There is also a long tradition of Arab traders living in the region, and their descendants play an important role in religious institutions and Islamic education in the area. Historically, in addition to the native Muslim population, there are many migrants of Bugis people from South Sulawesi, as well as from the northern Gorontalo region. Currently, Poso Regency has a Muslim majority population in towns and coastal villages, and the majority of Protestant indigenous people in the highlands. The capital of Poso Regency, Poso, is located in the bay, six hours southeast of the provincial capital, Palu. Poso Regency is one of eight other regencies established only after 2002 within the province.
