History
50_7
Malinau was originally a residential area inhabited by the Tidung ethnic group. Based on
50_8
information from Tidung community leaders, the name Malinau originated when the Dutch settled an
50_9
area formerly known as Selamban. At the time Selamban was inhabited by the Tidung Tribe, while
50_10
across the Kabiran river the village Pelita Canaan was inhabited by the Dayak Abai tribe. When the
50_11
Dutch arrived in Selamban they met a group of Abai who were harvesting sago from the sago palm, and
50_12
asked the name of the river that ran between the two villages. The Abai did not understand the
50_13
questions, and assumed the Dutch wanted to know what they were working on. One of the Abai said
50_14
"Mal Inau" which means harvesting sago in the local Abai language; "mal" meaning making, while
50_15
"inau" means tree. Thus the name Malinau was born. A map of the area made during the colonial
50_16
period called the local river "the Malinau", and the area has been known as Malinau since.
50_17
As people migrated into Selamban, it eventually grew much larger and became a town, renamed
50_18
Malinau. When Bulungan Regency was divided in 1999, Malinau became the administrative centre of the
50_19
newly formed Malinau Regency. In December 2012, Malinau Regency became part of the new province of
50_20
North Kalimantan.
