Tenggarong (Indonesian pronunciation: [təŋˈɡarɔŋ], abbreviated: TRG)[3] is a district as well as the capital of the Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

At some point, the Kutai Kartanegara Sultan, Aji Muhammad Muslihuddin, changed the name from Tepian Pandan to Tangga Arung (literally the house of the king).

In application, the people of Kutai would then shorten this name by combining the two words Tangga Arung to Tenggarong.

[5][6] On November 1964, following the release of a local decree, parts of Tenggarong were separated to form Sebulu (and later inaugurated on 12 May 1965).
