History

On 11 June 1996, Long Hubung was created as a separate district from Long Iram.^[4] This move was soon followed by the creation of the districts of Linggang Bigung on 16 July 1999 (involving only the villages of Linggang Tutung, Linggang Melapeh Baru, and Linggang Bigung Baru),^[5] then Laham (from Long Hubung) and Tering (added with two villages from Melak) on 5 June 2003.^[6] Since its formation in 2013, Long Hubung and Laham now belong to Mahakam Ulu Regency, in contrast with three other districts, all of which are still part of West Kutai.
