Notes

  1. ^ Soedjono served as mayor for twenty months.[4]
  2. ^ The township status was passed on 26 June 1959, and enacted on 4 July 1959.[5] However, the official ceremony was just held on 21 January 1960 to commemorate the arrival of Bugis people from Wajo in an area now called Samarinda Seberang [id] on 21 January 1668.[4][6] The event took place with the signing of the official handover document from Sultan Parikesit of Kutai to Cpt. Soedjono, who became the first mayor of Samarinda Township, which signified the formation of the Government of Samarinda City.[4]
