Etymology[]
It is thought that the name "Banjarmasin" is a corrupted version of "Bandar Masih" (Port Masih). "Masih" originates from the Ngaju language. Oloh Masi refers to the coastal dwelling Malay population. There is speculation that Patih Masih, who ruled the port and the surrounding villages, was not a real name but instead a nickname. This was used by the population from the region, specifically the Dayaks who lived in the interior and visited the port regularly to trade. Some even eventually settled in the port. They eventually contributed to the culture of the Banjar people whose culture is a mixture of Javanese, Malay, and Dayak cultures.[10][11]
Early history[]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Komplek_Makam_Sultan_Suriansyah.jpg/220px-Komplek_Makam_Sultan_Suriansyah.jpg)
European archeologist H. Kupper discovered several prehistoric sites around the region in 1939 and found implements such as choppers and other stone tools. Most of the artifacts found around the region and the province show signs of Neolithic culture. Migration from mainland Asia to Borneo may have been common when they were connected by the Sunda Shelf. Many stone tools were found in Awang Bangkal, 50 kilometres (31 mi) from the city.[10]
Until the early 15th century, there were few written records found from the region. Outside records indicate it was home to several kingdoms such as Tanjungpuri, which was theorized to have been founded by Malay people from Srivijaya, and Negara Daha and Dipa founded by Javanese from Majapahit. Hinduism and Buddhism entered the region between the first and 15th centuries. There are two candi (temple) left in the region; Candi Laras and Candi Agung.[12] There is also a native kingdom, which was thought to be the oldest kingdom in the entire archipelago, Nan Sarunai, founded by the Ma'anyan people. This kingdom was believed to be exist based on a Ma'anyan folk song called "Usak Jawa", which was thought to tell the story of the Majapahit conquest of the kingdom, and several carved stone tombs. However, the existence of this kingdom is disputed.[13][10][14]
The history of Banjarmasin as a place generally began during the founding of the Sultanate of Banjar. According to folk stories and the Hikayat Banjar, Sukarama, the fourth king of Negara Daha, wanted his grandson, Raden Samudra, to be his successor in the kingdom instead of his direct son Prince Tumenggung. Prince Tumenggung later banished Raden Samudra and tried to reclaim the throne for himself. Raden Samudra fled to the region that would later be known as Banjarmasin. From there, he met Patih Masih, who controlled a port in the region. Under Samudra's leadership, the port grew into a town which would be called Bandar Masih ('Port Masih').[15][10] Tumenggung, who disliked Samudra's growing power, wanted to invade the town. To defend himself, Samudra allied with the Demak Sultanate, which agreed to help him. In return he would have to convert to Islam if he won. With the help of expeditionary forces from Demak, Samudra defeated the Tumenggung forces and proclaimed the Banjar Sultanate. He changed his name to Sultan Suriansyah I. The sultanate became more reliant on the Demak to the point it was considered their protectorate. However, between 1546 and 1550, as conquests and the spice trade enriched the sultanate, it became independent and stopped sending tributes to Java.[10][16]
Colonial era[]

The first contact between Europeans and the Banjar people in the region came through trade Since 1596, this mostly took place in Banten. European traders, largely Dutch, did not bother visiting the port until they were banned from Banten by its local rulers. As the result, these traders resorted to attacking ships from other countries, including ships under the Banjar Sultanate, to steal nutmeg. This did not impress the sultan, who later took revenge against a Dutch ship visiting Banjarmasin on 17 July 1607 by hijacking it and massacring the crew. This hijacking and killing happened several times between 1603 and 1636. It ceased when trade agreements were reached, which put the Dutch East India Company in control of the nutmeg trade from the sultanate and gave it a monopoly over trade in Banjarmasin. The company was expelled in 1638, however, after the sultan waged a war against the Dutch and burned much of the company's possessions around the port.[17][10]

Like the Dutch, an English company was expelled from the region in 1707 after a treaty had been agreed upon in 1698. The region was under British control after the Napoleonic Wars, but was ceded to the Dutch East Indies Company under the Treaty of London.[10][16] A succession crisis between Sultan Adam and Tamjidillah II, coupled with a dispute over resource control of coal mines, for example, resulted in a war between the sultanate and the Dutch East Indies Company which abolished the sultanate in 1863. The war continued until 1905 under an emergency government set up by the sultanate called Pagustian. The last resistance was put down with the capture of Queen Zaleha in 1906.[16][18] The war also resulted in the migration of Banjar people from Borneo who formed communities in Sumatra, Singapore, and Malaysia.[18]
20th century–present[]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/Japanese_attack_on_Borneo%2C_1941-1942.jpg/220px-Japanese_attack_on_Borneo%2C_1941-1942.jpg)
When World War II broke out, the city was occupied by Japanese forces under the Imperial Japanese Army. After the Battle of Banjarmasin, control was transferred to the Imperial Japanese Navy. Locals described Japanese rule under the navy as harsher compared to the army. This led many people to escape to Java, which remained under army rule. The city was liberated by Australian forces in September 1945. The return of Dutch rule, however, was opposed by the people and resulted in four years of war between Indonesian nationalists and the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army. This ended with the Dutch recognition of Indonesia in 1949. The city was briefly assigned as the capital of Great Dayak federal state before being absorbed into a single Kalimantan province. It later became the capital city of the newly formed South Kalimantan province.[10][19][20] However, because of frequent flooding, there was a plan to relocate the provincial capital city to Banjarbaru. This did not fully materialize until recently.[21] It was granted city status by Indonesian government in 1959 based on Law Number 27 of 1959.[4]
On 23 May 1997, the city witnessed a riot caused by friction between supporters of the United Development Party and Golkar. The riot later developed into looting, which targeted Chinese and Christian minorities and several shopping malls.[22][23][24] The riot today is known by locals as Jumat Kelabu or Grey Friday.[25]
Geography[]
Banjarmasin is located on Barito basin and divided by the Martapura River into two parts. Slope of the city is 0.13% and the land is generally flat and low lying. The geological foundation of the city is dominated by clay and sandstone, but also includes alluvial sediments from the river. Several smaller rivers exist which form a dendritic drainage pattern. All the smaller rivers are connected to either the Martapura River or Barito River. The city's river system is affected by tides. The city is located in a swampy region and is generally below sea water level, making it prone to being flooded by tidal waves.[26][9]
The area of city proper is 98.46 square kilometres (38.02 sq mi), or around 0.26% of the provincial area.[9] It borders the Barito Kuala Regency in the north and west and the Banjar Regency in the east and south.[9]

Banjarese culture[]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Haul_Guru_Sekumpul.jpg/220px-Haul_Guru_Sekumpul.jpg)
The city's dominant culture is that of the Banjar people, which have characteristics described as those of a "river culture" and are influenced by other ethnicities such as Dayak, Javanese, Malay, Arab, and even Persian. Despite being a Muslim majority, the Banjar people still hold on to the importance of cultural parts that have been influenced by their Hindu-Buddhist past. This includes the Malanuh ceremony, which is an offering to supernatural beings.[39] One annual event that is celebrated widely by the people of the city is Haul Guru Sekumpul, an event commemorating the death of a charismatic ulema from the region, Zaini Abdul Ghani.[40][41]
Another famous cultural sight in the city is a floating market located on the Kuin River and Lok Baintan. People meet on the river after Fajr prayer until around 07:00 pm and transactions with the merchants are done from small boats. Small snacks, vegetables, fruits, meat, and many other groceries are sold at the market. This market is dying, however, and the number of merchants has declined because of the shift from river culture to land culture and competition with regular land markets.[42] The city is home to a cultural center building surrounded by a cultural park where traditional artists can often be seen performing. The building and its surrounding has been used regularly to hold cultural events to preserve Banjarese culture, as well as to facilitate local artists.[43][44][45]
City parks[]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Siring_Banjarmasin_at_night.jpg/220px-Siring_Banjarmasin_at_night.jpg)
There are several city parks and public spaces in the city, one of the most notable being Siring Park, located in the center of the city. Sometimes referred to by locals as "0 Kilometer Park", the park is located on the shores of the Martapura River and also acts as a waterfront for the river with docks for small boats in the river. Facilities in the park include a watchtower, several gazebos, pedestrian roads, and skateboard parks. In front of the park, there is an urban bus stop used by both Trans Banjarmasin & BRT Banjarbakula bus companies.[46] In addition, the park includes one of the city's landmarks, a 6.5 metres (21 ft) statue of a bekantan (Proboscis monkey) which is a native primate in the region. The park is also a center for street foods in the city during dusk.[47][48][49]
Other city parks include Kamboja Park, Bungas Banjarmasin Park, and Banua Anyar Public Space. Located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the city center, Banua Anyar Public Space is specifically designed for toddlers and kids. It is located below Banua Anyar bridge and has facilities such as a kids' park, artificial soft grass to ensure child safety, and book reading corners.[50][51][52][53]
Others[]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Duta_Mall_Banjarmasin.jpg/220px-Duta_Mall_Banjarmasin.jpg)
Several shopping malls are located in the city. The Duta Mall Banjarmasin is the largest in the province, and connected to a hotel called The Mercure Hotel. Located in Central Banjarmasin district, it occupies more than 42,000 square metres (450,000 sq ft) and consists of four stories. It is also surrounded by several other buildings housing stores, forming a complex with a total area of 80,000 square metres (860,000 sq ft).[54][55] Other entertainment centers in the city include Trans Studio Mini Banjarmasin, an indoor theme park which is owned by Trans Corp and malls such as Mitra Plaza, Lotte Mart, and Giant.[56] Mitra Plaza is one of the city's oldest modern shopping centers, and was a target of looting and destruction during the Banjarmasin riot of May 1997. It was renovated after the riot.[57] Other than modern shopping malls, according to Statistics Indonesia, as of 2019, there are 60 traditional markets registered in the city.[58]
Transportation[]
The city has 790.13 kilometres (490.96 mi) of road, most of which have been paved with asphalt. It is connected to the Trans-Kalimantan Highway Southern Route, which connects it to other big cities such as Palangka Raya and Samarinda.[59] Kilometer 6 Bus Terminal is the main bus terminal for the city and the province, where buses for long inter-province routes gather.[60] Being old and overcrowded, the government relocated the main terminal to the newly built Kilometer 17 Bus Terminal in Gambut District, Banjar Regency. However, the new terminal is rarely used and many bus operators resisted the relocation because of the remoteness of the new terminal from the city center.[61]
Being divided by a big navigable river, speed boats on the river are also an important means of transportation within the city. Ride-hailing services such as Gojek and Grab are widespread. The city has two urban bus services, BRT Banjarbakula which connects it to the Greater Banjarmasin area and , which only serves the city proper.[62][63][64] As with other Indonesian cities, the city has angkots (shared taxis), which have been declining rapidly because of competition from online ride-hailing services, online taxis, and new public transportation services created by the city government.[65][66]
The city is served by the Port of Trisakti, which is one of main ports in Indonesia and classified as class IA. The port has a passenger terminal for passenger ships to neighbouring islands such as Java and Sulawesi.[67][68] The closest airport is the Syamsudin Noor International Airport, which located inside Banjarbaru city, 29 kilometres (18 mi) from Banjarmasin.[69]
