Tanjung Palas

Tanjung Palas lies on the bank of the Kayan River in northeastern Borneo. It became a seat of the rulers of Bulungan, a coastal polity whose riverine lands connected the island's interior with the sea. Accounts of its history place the move from Salim Batu to Tanjung Palas in the reign of Sultan Alimuddin, who ruled from 1777 to 1817. The settlement stood across the river from Tanjung Selor.

The later city of Tanjung Selor lies here.
