Contents

On 26 June 1959, Tanah Grogot was inaugurated as the capital of Paser Regency by the law no. 27 of 1959.

Etymology

Tanah Grogot was named after an onomatopoeia for the sound of diesel boat engines (grogot) while crossing the Kandilo. Head of the public relations division of Paser government, Adi Maulana in 2012, complained that the people behind its naming were unclear, and he deemed the present name as "outdated". [3]

The regency seat of Tanah Grogot was officially renamed to Tana Paser on 2 January 2013. [4] Speaker of the Paser Regional DPR, Kaharuddin, stated that he supported the rename proposals for the district, while he also confirmed that the eponymous village would not be renamed. [5] However, Tanah Grogot still remains the most popular name for both the regency seat and the district.
