Teluk Pandan (Indonesian pronunciation: [ˌt̪əlʊʔ ˈpandan], lit. 'Pandanus bay') is an administrative district (kecamatan) of the East Kutai Regency, in East Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. It covers a land area of 926.04 km2. As of mid 2024, it was inhabited by 14,995 people.[4] Its district seat is located at the village of Teluk Pandan.[2]

The district was separated on 31 October 2005 from the former district of Sangatta.[1] Teluk Pandan District shares borders with the districts of South Sangatta to the north, Muara Kaman (Kutai Kartanegara) to the west, Bontang to the east, and Marang Kayu (Kutai Kartanegara) to the south.

Etymology

In the 1950s, Daeng Mappile and three members of his family, including Daeng Masiga, Muh. Bakri, and Muh. Seri, all of them were Buginese immigrants, agreed to cross the estuary of this region on a Monday. While they were resting for a lunch, they found numerous Pandanus (pandan) trees that grew along the estuary and eventually naming it as Teluk Pandan.[5]
