Proof of History of Dutch and Japanese Heritage on the Real Sabang Island, Before we go further about the history of Sabang Island, we will see where the island of Sabang is? Sabang Island is located at the end of the Indonesian sumatra which is a former Japanese and Dutch colony, this is where many of the Dutch and Japanese docks are kept well guarded by the city of Sabang.
Once Sabang City before World War II was the most important port city compared to Temasek (now Singapore).
Sabang has been widely known as a natural harbor named Kolen Station by the Dutch colonial government since 1881. In 1887, Firma Delange assisted by Sabang Haven obtaining the authority to add, build port facilities and facilities. The free harbor era in Sabang was started in 1895, known as Vrij Haven and managed by Maatschaappij Zeehaven en Kolen Station, then known as Sabang Maatschaappij. World War II influenced the condition of Sabang where in 1942 Sabang occupied by Japanese troops, then bombed Allied aircraft and suffered physical damage until it was forced to close. That is a glimpse of Japanese history on Sabang Island.
Until now all the colonial possessions still exist in this island, but no longer as it used to be because the objects of such objects are so long.
That is, some bulls of Dutch heritage on Sabang Island until now, these bulls have been closed by the daunan in the area, for those of you who want to see clearly you should visit directly the place, because in addition to the bull is much more Dutch and Japanese relics in this area. hopefully this information useful for you lovers history of Aceh, umpteen and thank you.
