Tabalong

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.

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.

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

The region is divided into multiple administrative districts, which makes it important for visitors to be aware of local boundaries. Travelers should keep in mind the geographic split between rural and urban areas when planning their movements.

Tabalong contains major coal mining operations managed by Adaro Energy, employing over 12,000 workers and contributing to Indonesia's natural resource production.
