This district was established not long after Sunan Nata Alam handed over Pembuang Banjar to the Dutch VOC.

[2] Since August 13, 1787, the Pembuang area (Seruyan Regency) was handed over by Sunan Nata Alam to the Dutch VOC.

[3] Before 1880, the Seruyan area consisted of 13 villages where government officials were called "Assistant Kjai" who ruled directly from Sampit.

In 1940, the Japanese Empire expanded its territory to the South, namely to the Southeast Asia region, getting into conflict with the Dutch East Indies.

Seruyan then joined the Great Dayak region under the leadership of J. van Dyk, ending the Pemboeang era.
