Kalimantan

Kalimantan (or Borneo) was the home of Hindu kings almost 2000 years ago.

Banjarmasin was an Islamic sultanate. There was a British trading post there in the early 1700s. The Dutch consolidated their hold on it in 1860.

The sultanate of Pontianak was founded by Syarif Abdurrahman from Arabia in 1771.

Nearby in Malaysia, Sarawak was founded by British adventurer James Brooke in 1841. Sabah became a British protectorate in 1888 after several colonial powers disputed it.
