Abstract

There were many "traditional port cities" in East Sumatera, such as Tanjung Pura in the Sultanate of Langkat, Labuhan in the Sultanate of Deli, Rantau Panjang in the Sultanate of Serdang, Tanjung Beringin in the Sultanate of Bedagai, Bandar Khalifah in the Sultanate of Padang, Tanjung Balai in the Sultanate of Asahan, and Siak Sri Indrapura in the Sultanate of Siak. The location of the ports generally located on the riverbanks, either large or small. These traditional cities underwent some changes after the plantation establishment, from riverside cities to in the middle of plantations. New cities emerged after the plantation were formed or initiated by the planters and Dutch colonial government in East Sumatra. The purpose of the establishment was to make the cities the administrative center of the government and plantation. This paper discusses how the state of the traditional cities before the plantation establishment and how the new cities emerged after the plantation establishment in East Sumatra.
