Summary Education (HISTORY OF PALOH DISTRICT, SAMBAS REGENCY, INDONESIA)

This note explains the history of the Paloh sub-district. Paloh District was originally an area that was administratively included in the Teluk Keramat sub-district. In order to improve service to the community and the effectiveness of government administration, as well as development, the Teluk Keramat sub-district was developed by forming the Paloh sub-district in 1963 which included 10 villages namely: Sebubus, Nibung, Mentibar, Tanah Hitam, Peradah, Matang Danau, Matang Putus villages, Kalimantan. and the Bening River. Before the Paloh sub-district was formed, this area was considered an underdeveloped area, the main transportation routes relied only on rivers and the sea, so food insecurity often occurred, especially from October to February, because during these months high tides and sea waves were very strong so that the results of the community's efforts such as agricultural and fishery products are difficult to transport and market. This condition was exacerbated by the confrontation with Malaysia and PGRS from 1965 to 1967. After the PGRS/PARAKU riots ended, construction in the Paloh sub-district began. In 1980, the government built land transportation routes from Teluk Kalong to Liku and Setingga to Merbau. Based on the Decree of the Governor of the West Kalimantan Level I Region Number 353 of 1987 concerning Regrouping of merging villages with a small population, the Paloh sub-district which originally consisted of 10 villages became 7 villages, namely: Sebubus village, Nibung village, Malek regrouping Malek village and Malek village. Mentibar, Tanah Hitam regrouped Tanah Hitam villages with Danau Peradah villages, Matang Danau regrouped Matang Danau and Matang Putus villages, Kalimantan, and Sungai Bening villages. Then the Paloh sub-district became 6 villages, with the issuance of Government Regulation Number 39 of 1996 concerning the Formation of Sub-Districts in West Kalimantan, the Paloh sub-district was reduced in area and Sungai Bening village entered a new sub-district area, namely Sajingan Besar sub-district which was the result of expansion from Paloh sub-district, Teluk Keramat sub-district and Sejangkung district. Then based on the Decree of the Regent of Sambas Number 186 of 2002 concerning the Establishment of Temajuk Village, Paloh District, Sambas Regency, the Temajuk village was formed which was a division of Sebubus village, so that the number of villages in Paloh sub-district increased to 7 villages.
