Description

Tabalong is an administrative region in South Kalimantan that spans multiple districts across the province. The area includes both rural and urban settlements, with Tanjung serving as its main administrative center.

History

The region was established in 1965 as a separate administrative division after northern districts of a former area were split off. This division created the local governance structure that exists in the area today.

Culture

The region operates under the motto 'Saraba Kawa' in Banjarese language, reflecting the administrative traditions and local governance systems of South Kalimantan.
