Tarakan, Between History and Nature

Tarakan, is one of Indonesia cities and has

become part of the East Borneo Province.
Tarakan, also known as Paguntaka Earth, it is
an island located in the northern side of East
Kalimantan.

Tarakan name, according to folklore comes

from the Tidung language, Tarak (met) and
Ngakan (eat) which literally means place of
the fishermen to take a break to eat, to meet
THE WORLD IS FULL OF NICE PEOPLE,
IF YOU CAN’T FIND ONE, BE ONE.
and to make exchanges with other fishermen. In addition, Tarakan is also a meeting place of
Kayan River estuary, Sesayap and Malinau.

Northern East Kalimantan region in general has three indigenous ethnics : Tidung, Bulungan
and Dayak, representing three cultures of the Cultural Coast, Sultanate Culture and Inland
Culture.

While, The Tidung tribe mostly inhabit the area on beaches and islands, there are also a little
on the banks of the rivers in the inland area. The Bulungan tribe mostly located between the
hinterland and coastal region, especially the area of Tanjung Palas and Cape Selor. While
most of the Dayak tribe inhabit the Inland region. On the othrt hsnf, thr Dayak tribe which
inhabit this island are the Dayak Kenyah.

Back to the early history, there was an ancient kingdom name Tarakan or the Tidung
kingdom. The governmental center was formerly in Binalatung, and then moved to Pamusian.
Hence, until the present time Tidung people are the most inhabitant in this area. Tidung
people are mostly fisherman, however, they also farm the forest products to fill their daily
needs.

After the era of the Tidung kingdom, the Dutch started colonies this region. In 1896, a Dutch
oil company, BPM (Bataavishe Petroleum Maatchapij) discovered the existence of oil
resources in this island. Many workers were imported mainly from Java island leadning in
drilling activity.

The Indonesia independent era, Tarakan finally had their territory and the official date from
this city was 15 Desember 1997.

Tarakan island is largely still in the form of protected forest areas, especially t n he southern
coastal area. This natural view is such an exotic mixture between protected forest, hills, forest
conservation, fisherman village, plantations, beaches 38and historical heritage.

There are also some monuments in this island remaining from the struggle of Japanese troops
and Australian troops. Moreover, there are graves of Japanese soldiers which was in the
former of Japan bunker in hill region.

Looking from the historical and the geographical side, Tarakan is an exotic tourism
destination. In fact, there are some tourism spots that attract visitors like Japanese
monument, Australian monument, curved roof house, bunkers, observation post, pilgrimage
tourism, old mining tourism and Amal beach, Tarakan is also near to Derawan island in
Berau.
