Pontianak Matan
First posted on January 16th 2010, loast revised on April 30th 2010






Sukadana is mentioned in sources of the 14th century, when the area belonged to Majapahit. The V.O.C. maintained a comptoir in Sukadana from c. 1617 to 1622. In 1622 Sukadana recognized the suzerainty of Mataram. The ruler of Sukadana converted to Islam shortly after, and the state was officially called Tanjung Pura. In the 18th century the Sultan of Banten exercised suzerainty over western Borneo; he ceded the suzerainty over Landak and Sukadana to the V.O.C. in 1778. In 1771, an exiled son of the Sultan of Sukadana established the Sultanate of Pontianak. Treaties with the Dutch East Indies were signed in 1822, 1827 and 1831. It was treated as part of DEI Borneo's Wester-Afdeling. In 1837 Matan seceded from the Sultanate of Sukadana, leaving the latter only with a tiny amount of territory. In 1949, Sukadana became part of the Republic of Indonesia.

Name varieties : Sukadana, Sacadina, Succadana, Soekadana, Sukadana-Matan, Matan-Tanjungpura, Tanjungpura, Tanjung Pura
