History of Tidung taken from the name of the place that exist in rural areas of East Kalimantan Malinau that is "Tana Tidung". Took the name tidung, because it's gives from the king of Tidung are expelled by the Dutch colonial. The name of the king is Pandita. After being expelled from the land, Pandita King of Tidung wandered up to Jepara. He moved to end up on an island that we know as Tidung Island.
