History

During the Dutch East Indies colonial rule, Loa Kulu was a fairly important coal producing area with the operation of a coal mining company called Oost Borneo Maatschapij (OBM) in the late 19th century. Coal exploitation in Loa Kulu district ended in 1970, exactly 2 years after PN Tambang Batubara took over from OBM in 1968. Since then, Loa Kulu, which was once busy, has gradually become deserted, abandoned by thousands of mine workers.[4]
