History
Etymology and Dutch colonial rule
Map of the Padangsidempuan and Sibolga City Areas published by the Dutch East Indies Colonial Government in 1875 which shows the name of the city of Padang Sidempoean (in Bottom Right of the Image)
Around 1700, Padangsidempuan was a small hamlet that was often visited by traders as a resting place, who called it "Padang Na Dimpu", from the Angkola language. Padang means expanse or wide area, na means in, and dimpu means high, so it can be interpreted as "a wide expanse in a high place". In ancient times, this area was a stopover place for traders from various regions, fish and salt traders from Sibolga – Padangsidempuan – Panyabungan, Padang Bolak (North Padang Lawas) – Padangsidimpuan – Sibolga.[5]
