Post-enactment of thirty-four provinces to northern Borneo in 2012 by the government of the Republic of Indonesia, the town of Tarakan become the main gateway to enter the province. No stipulation Tarakan be more due to the provincial capital in the kingdom's history Tidung which is the local native tribe, civilization in the region of Bulungan precisely in Tanjung Selor (The capital of the province of Kaltara now). Review the history Because the image which I will share to agan-agan all has something to do with the history of the city, then I bit mengkorek why Tarakan contested by European nations, especially the Dutch. At that time the Dutch know the potential of the oil contained in Tarakan island, memilikikualitas nice and meilimpah so Dutch East Indies government then set up an oil company BPM (Bataavishe Petroleum Maatchapij) in 1896.

Korek sedikit tentang tarakan Kota Tarakan merupakan satu-satunya kota administratif yang berada pada provinsi Kalimantan Utara. Kota ini memiliki luas wilayah 250,80 km² dan sesuai dengan data Badan Kependudukan Catatan Sipil dan Keluarga Berencana, Kota Tarakan berpenduduk sebanyak 239.787 jiwa. Tarakan atau juga dikenal sebagai Bumi Paguntaka, berada pada sebuah pulau kecil. Tarakan juga biasa disebut dengan istilah Tengkayu yang dari bahasa Tidungnya berarti daerah yang dikelilingi oleh laut atau Pesisir. Berada pada provinsi termuda di negeri ini dan memiliki fasilitas publik yang cukup lengkap, tak lantas kota Tarakan menjadi ibu kota Kalimantan Utara. Dahulu kala sebelum jadi kota madya, tarakan merupakan sa;lah satu kecamatan dari kabupaten Bulungan sesuai dengan Keppress RI No. 22 Tahun 1963. Akan tetapi, dengan adanya potensi sumber minyak yang melimpah di pulau tarakan membuat daerah ini lebih maju ketimbang ibu kota Kabupaten Bulungan. Pasca ditetapkannya provinsi ke tiga puluh empat kalimantan utara pada tahun 2012 oleh pemerintah Republik Indonesia maka kota Tarakan menjadi pintu gerbang utama memasuki provinsi ini. Tidak ditetapkannya Tarakan menjadi ibu kota Provinsi lebih dikarenakan pada sejarah kerajaan suku Tidung yang merupakan suku asli daerah itu, peradabannya berada pada daerah Kabupaten Bulungan tepatnya di Tanjung Selor (Ibu kota Provinsi Kaltara sekarang). Review sejarah Karena gambar yang akan saya sharing kepada agan-agan semua ada kaitannya dengan sejarah kota, maka saya sedikit mengkorek kenapa Tarakan diperebutkan oleh bangsa eropa khususnya belanda. Pada saat itu belanda mengetahui potensi minyak yang terdapat pada pulau Tarakan, memilikikualitas yang bagus serta meilimpah sehingga Pemerintah Hindia Belanda pada saat itu mendirikan sebuah perusahaan minyak BPM (Bataavishe Petroleum Maatchapij) pada tahun 1896. Untuk mempertahankan pulau Tarakan dari ancaman dari bangsa lain yang ingin mengambil alih daerah ini, maka pemerintah Hindia Belanda memperkuat sistem pertahanan di daerah ini. Untuk mengawasi area laut Tarakan, pemerintah Hindia Belanda dan sekutu membangun pos-pos pengintaian dan sistem artileri berupa meriam yang menghadap ke laut. Berikut foto-fotonya gan :
