(Kingdom) of Kutai
Tenggarong is 39 kilometers away from Samarinda. It is the capital of
the Kutai regency, and is almost two centuries old. Up to 1960, the
regency was know as the special District of Kutai. The remains of the
Kutai Kertanegara Kingdom are found in this town. The old palace is now
the State Museum of Mulawarman.The center of the Kutai Kingdom is
presumed to have been in the vicinity of Muara Kaman. Due to fear of
foreign incursions, it was moved upstream , to Jembayan village. The
King acting on divine advice given to him in a dream, later again moved
the Kingdom's seat of power, to what is now the town of Tenggarong. It
has a Museum of the Sultans history and is Building a Tourism Park at
the Island "Kumala" which will become a sight show of East Kalimantans
