Kunto

Kunto Darussalam was one of the small hereditary kingdoms of the upper Rokan basin in Sumatra. Its seat at Koto Lama stood among neighboring river polities, including Rokan, Rambah and Tambusai. The upper Rokan's branches descend from the interior toward the Malacca Strait, connecting these courts to communities along the lower river. Local tradition remembers Kunto's rulers for their role in the spread of Islam in the region.
