Talk:Banda Aceh

Kutaraja

"Banda Aceh, also known as Kutaraja"... -- can anyone confirm this?

see: http://users.skynet.be/network.indonesia/ni4001c5.htm

The Kadiri princes of the 12th century ruled over a land that was never free from rebellion. In 1222 Kertajaya was defeated by an adventurer, Angrok, and a new capital was located at Kutaraja, later renamed Singhasari, near to the harbours of east Java. The changed economic circumstances in the archipelago as a whole must now be taken into account, since they have an important bearing on the internal history of Java in the 13th and 14th centuries.

i.e.: it's on Java and is now known as Singhasari.

Looks like you're talking about two different places, but one of them, in Sumatra, NOT Java, does seem to have gone by Kotaja with various spellings before becoming Banda Aceh. Not sure when the change occured. Probably after independence from the Dutch.. OrganicEarth (talk) 06:55, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
