North Penajam Paser Regency is a regency in the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan. Its administrative centre is the town of Penajam. The area which now forms North Penajam Paser was part of the Paser Regency until its creation as a separate regency on 10 April 2002. [2] It covers an area of 3,333.06 km2 (of which 3,060.82 km2 is land area and 272.24 km2 is sea area) and it had 142,922 inhabitants at the 2010 census [3] and 178,681 at the 2020 census; [4] the official estimate as at mid-2022 was 183,043 (comprising 94,481 males and 88,562 females). [1] North Penajam Paser Regency has the smallest area among the seven regencies in East Kalimantan province.
The regency was historically part of the Paser Kingdom, which was a dependency of the Banjar Sultanate. [5] It is the second youngest regency in East Kalimantan. In 2019, parts of the regency were designated to be included in the location of the new Indonesian national capital. [6]
The word "Paser" came from two combinations of words in the native language of the Paser people, "pa" which means "bright" and "ser" which means "spirit". Combined, the word "Paser" roughly means "bright spirit". The word "Paser" also originated from the name of a former kingdom in the region, Paser Kingdom. [7] [8] Penajam is a name used to refer to the region where the regency is now located. As the regency was formerly the northern part of the Paser Kingdom and the region used to be called Penajam, it was named North Penajam Paser Regency. [8]
The region was inhabited by several tribes such as Lolo, Adang, and Kali who each founded small tribal kingdoms. The Paser Kingdom was founded by a combination of several tribes. Smaller tribal kingdoms soon disappeared due to urbanization to the capital of the Paser Kingdom or migration to the interior, which caused these kingdoms population to drop rapidly. [9]
