History


The word "Paser" came from two combination of words in native language of 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 former kingdom in the region, Paser Kingdom.[6][7] Penajam is a name used to refer the region where the regency now located. As the regency was formerly northern part of the Paser Kingdom and the region was used to be called Penajam, it was named Penajam North Paser Regency.[7]

The region was inhabited by several tribes such as Lolo, Adang, and Kali whom each founded small tribal kingdoms. The Paser Kingdom was founded by combination of several tribes. Smaller tribal kingdoms soon disappeared due to urbanization to capital of Paser Kingdom or migration to interior, which caused these kingdoms population to drop rapidly.[8]
