North Labuhanbatu

North Labuhanbatu extends across 3,545 square kilometers of land, featuring eight distinct districts with Aek Kanopan serving as its administrative center.

The region evolved from the ancient Buddhist trading kingdom of Pannai, which controlled vital waterways through the Bilah and Barumun rivers between the 11th and 14th centuries.

The regency incorporates traditions from Batak, Javanese, and Malay communities, with each group maintaining their specific customs and celebrating regional festivals throughout the year.

The area maintains connections to surrounding regions through a network of roads, enabling trade and transportation between North Sumatra's major population centers.

North Labuhanbatu preserves 60.99 percent of its territory as forest land, while supporting agricultural activities including rubber, cocoa, and palm oil production.
