Tanjung Redeb is a town and administrative district (kecamatan) which serves as the administrative centre of Berau Regency, in East Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. It covers an area of 24.42 km2, and at the 2020 Census it had a population of 71,231.[1] The official estimate as at mid 2024 was 78,230.[2]
History
[edit]The Berau area takes its name from an ancient kingdom which originally included the large area to the north that now forms the separate province of North Kalimantan (Kalimantan Utara). Following a civil war in 1770, this was split into four sultanates - Bulungan and Tidung to the north (now North Kalimantan), and Gunung Tabur and Sambuliang to the south, in what is the drainage basin of the Berau River.
Tanjung Redeb lies at the junction of the Segan River and Kelai River, where they unite to form the Berai River close to the coast. The historic palaces of the former sultans of Gunung Tabur (or Mount Tabur) and Samuliang both lie in the built-up area of Tanjung Redeb. The former, on the Segan River, was destroyed by Japanese bombing during World War Two, but was subsequently rebuilt as an exact copy and now serves as a museum. The latter palace was not bombed and remains an attraction on the side of the Kelai River.
Administration
[edit]Tanjung Redeb district is composed of six urban villages (kelurahan).[3]
