History of Medan Indonesia was founded by Guru Patimpus Sembiring Pelawi in 1590. John Anderson, the first European to visit the Deli in 1833 found a village named Medan. This village has a population of 200 people and a leader named Tuanku Island Berayan had lived there for many years to collect taxes from the canoes down the river carrying pepper. In 1886 Medan officially gained status as a city, and next year resident of East Coast Deli and Sultan moved to Medan. In 1909, Field became an important city outside Java, especially after the colonial government opened its plantations on a large scale. The first city council consisted of 12 European members, two natives, and a Chinese.
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century there were two major waves of migration to Medan. The first wave of the arrival of the Chinese and Javanese as indentured plantation. But after the 1880 oil company stop bringing the Chinese, because most of them fled from the garden and often perform riot. The company then fully bring the Javanese as plantation laborers. The Chinese former plantation laborers then encouraged to develop the trade sector. The second wave is the arrival of the Minangkabau, Mandailing and Aceh. They came to the field rather than to work as farm laborers, but to trade, became a teacher and scholar.
Since 1950, the field has been several times to expand the area, from 1853 ha to 26 510 ha in 1974. Thus within 25 years after the handover of sovereignty, the city of Medan has expanded nearly eighteen-fold.
