History
The province of North Sumatra was first established on 15 April 1948 under Law No. 10 of 1948. At the time, the province encompassed the Residencies of Aceh, East Sumatra, and North Tapanuli.
The establishment of North Sumatra as a province is commemorated based on Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD) Decision No. 19 of 1973, dated 13 August, which designates that date as the province’s anniversary.
Earlier, according to the decree of the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI) dated 19 August 1945, North Sumatra functioned as a province and administrative region. Similar to developments in Java, Regional National Committees (Komite Nasional Daerah) were gradually formed, regulated by a proclamation issued by the Governor of North Sumatra on 12 April 1946 (No. 2/MGS), in accordance with Law No. 1 of 1945.
The proclamation stipulated that Regional National Committees were to be established at the provincial and residency levels, effectively transforming these areas into autonomous cities. Each region had its own representative council responsible for local governance.
The DPRD instituted an executive body consisting of five council members tasked with managing day-to-day administration, with the regional head serving as chair as well as member. Under this proclamation, the Regional People’s Representative Council of North Sumatra consisted of 100 members, representing a population of 100,000 residents.
