Key Facts

Pontianak is a city that serves as the capital of West Kalimantan province in Indonesia. Located precisely on the equator at the confluence of the Landak and Kapuas rivers, Pontianak occupies a strategic position in the western part of Indonesian Borneo. With an area of approximately 107.82 square kilometers and a population of around 660,000 people, it functions as the economic, administrative, and cultural hub of the province. The city is divided into six districts (kecamatan): Pontianak Barat, Pontianak Kota, Pontianak Selatan, Pontianak Tenggara, Pontianak Timur, and Pontianak Utara, each containing multiple urban villages (kelurahan). Founded in 1771 by Syarif Abdurrahman Alkadrie, Pontianak's name derives from the Pontianak ghost of Malay folklore, reflecting the challenging conditions early settlers faced in the swampy terrain. Today, the city features the Equator Monument marking its unique geographical position and serves as a major port city along the Kapuas River, Indonesia's longest river. As an important urban center, Pontianak provides comprehensive administrative services and infrastructure for residents and visitors seeking information about its various sub-regions and postal codes.
