History
Tanjung Selor was a small market town under the Sultanate of Bulungan, which later became the subject of the Dutch East Indies. After the Indonesian National Revolution, it became part of the Swapraja (Autonomous Royal Region) of Bulungan following Decree No. 186/ORB/ 92/14/1950 from the then-Kalimantan province governor. This later changed again into the Special Region of Bulungan under Law No. 22 of 1955. In 1959, the sultanate was abolished and became a second-level administrative region, now called a regency.{{Cite web|last=prokal.co|title=Beri Pemahaman Sejarah Tanjung Selor {{!}} Radar Tarakan|url=https://kaltara.prokal.co/read/news/23304-beri-pemahaman-sejarah-tanjung-selor.html|access-date=2021-04-25|website=kaltara.prokal.co|language=Indonesian}}{{Cite web|title=Bulungan Historical|trans-title=Sejarah Bulungan|url=https://www.bulungan.go.id/v5/index.php/bulungan/sejarah-bulungan|lang=id|archive-date=May 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170516121548/https://www.bulungan.go.id/v5/index.php/bulungan/sejarah-bulungan}}{{Cite web|date=2016-05-17|title=JPNN|url=https://www.jpnn.com/news/inilah-usulan-nama-tanjung-selor-jika-jadi-dob|access-date=2021-04-25|website=www.jpnn.com|language=id}}
Tanjung Selor was split from Tanjung Palas District, based on Bulungan Regency Law No. 13 of 2002, together with other seven new districts after the decentralization. Before the creation of the new North Kalimantan province split from East Kalimantan, it was determined to locate the provincial capital on mainland Kalimantan rather than in the then-largest provincial city of Tarakan, which is an island. As such, Tanjung Selor is among few Indonesian provincial capitals to be created from scratch, along with Sofifi and Palangka Raya. However, for financial reasons a moratorium under President Joko Widodo on creating second-level administrations so far has prevented granting Tanjung Selor city status. As of 2022, North Kalimantan remains among few of Indonesian provinces with its capital not having city status.{{Cite web|last=Media|first=Kompas Cyber|date=2019-03-31|title=Tanjung Selor, Model Pengembangan Ibu Kota Baru|url=https://properti.kompas.com/read/2019/03/31/160000521/tanjung-selor-model-pengembangan-ibu-kota-baru|access-date=2021-04-25|website=KOMPAS.com|language=id}}{{Cite web|date=2019-05-17|title=Sejarah Kecamatan|url=https://www.kectgselor.bulungan.go.id/profile/sejarah-kecamatan/|access-date=2021-04-25|website=Kecamatan Tanjung Selor|language=en-US}}
