Tenggarong
Tenggarong, historically known as Tepian Pandan and Tangga Arung, is a riverside district and the regency seat of Kutai Kartanegara in the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan. The district is located on the bank of Mahakam River and covers an area of 358.34 km² after the administrative split with Tenggarong Seberang in 1996. It is the most populous district in Kutai Kartanegara, with a population of 106,480 in the 2020 census, and an estimated 112,937 in 2025.
History
The former Kutai Kartanegara Sultanate's capital was likewise located in Tenggarong. Historically, the then capital was called Tepian Pandan. At some point, the Kutai Kartanegara Sultan, Aji Muhammad Muslihuddin, changed the name from Tepian Pandan to Tangga Arung. In application, the people of Kutai would then shorten this name by combining the two words Tangga Arung to Tenggarong. It was also spelt as Tengaron, especially on older publications.Tenggarong became the capital of the Special Region of Kutai since late 1956. Previously, Samarinda held this status from 1950 until 1956, three years before it became an autonomous city. On November 1964, following the release of a local decree, the western part of the district was separated from Tenggarong, together with parts of Muara Kaman, to form the new District of Sebulu. On 11 June 1996, the eastern part of the remaining district was similarly separated from Tenggarong to form the new District of Tenggarong Seberang.
