History

The former Kutai Kartanegara Sultanate's capital was likewise located in Tenggarong.^[5] 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 (literally the house of the king). In application, the people of Kutai would then shorten this name by combining the two words Tangga Arung to Tenggarong.^[5]

Tenggarong became the capital of the Special Region of Kutai (and then Kutai Regency) since late 1956. Previously, Samarinda held this status from 1950 until 1956, three years before it became an autonomous city.^[6]^[7] On November 1964, following the release of a local decree, the western part of the district (which consisted of only one village, Sebulu) was separated from Tenggarong, together with parts of Muara Kaman, to form the new District of Sebulu (which was later inaugurated on 12 May 1965).^[8] On 11 June 1996, the eastern part of the remaining district was similarly separated from Tenggarong to form the new District of Tenggarong Seberang.^[9]
