The origin of the name Grogot City [1] based on local stories can not be separated from events in the history of South Sulawesi. According Lontara Wajo told when King Bone La Patau Matanna Tika invite Sporting Matoa Wajo La Salewangeng to attend his daughter's ear punch. Along with it were also La Madukelleng. As a habit that has become a favorite in every party Bugis royal kings during the past often have a party cockfight.
On the implementation of the cockfight occurred injustice in the event, when the son of King Bone chicken dead chicken was defeated by Sporting Matowa Wajo. The victory was not recognized by the Bone and they argue that the race is just as strong. This led to a commotion and led to the brawl which resulted in casualties Bone more than Wajo casualties. With the existence of such a fight to the King of Bone demanded that La Madukelleng Wajo surrendered to account for his actions that are considered wrong. But people are not willing to meet the demand Wajo King of Bone. Before the troops occupied the Kingdom Wajo Bone, because they do not want to be colonized La Maddukeleng wander along with his followers to leave vengeance Wajo to avoid being undertaken by the Kingdom of Bone.
He Madukelleng in perantauannya to capitalize three tip; tip of the tongue as the packed diplomacy, badik end to fighting, and the end of sex through marriage. He was poor across the country to carve the triumph of the Bugis people very day. With the capital La Maddukeleng along with his followers and eight middle nobility, namely Mohang Daeng Mangkona La, La Pallawa Daeng Marowa, Puanna Dekke, Siareje La, Daeng Manambung, Spoiled Daeng Lebbi La, La Sawedi Sagala Daeng, and La Manrappi Daeng left retainer from Paneki, and initially settled in the Land of Malacca (Malaysia Barat). Then it moved and settled in the territory of the Kingdom Paser precisely Estuary Kandilo for ten years, before returning to Wajo and was appointed King in the Kingdom Wajo.
However, after the group was settled in place, deep in the soil of South Sulawesi since the land has been occupied by the Kingdom Wajo Bone, Wajo many residents who left his native village of La Madukelleng trail entourage to set sail for the land Paser, while some of the group led by La Mohang Daeng Kutai Mangkona toward the ground and form a settlement that became the forerunner to the establishment of Samarinda. Given these events many Bugis people who originally came from Wajo, when it settled and engaged in trade around Kandilo River.
In daily group-Wajo Bugis people who live on the outskirts of River Kandilo often hear a very heavy flow of river currents that cause a roar. From the condition that the Bugis-Wajo named their settlement with the title Land Geroro-E (Geroro-E: the sound of thunder). From this the term of the Sultan of the Kingdom Paser at that time and then often called the Land-E Geroro the long run is estimated to be the forerunner Grogot City designation.
Furthermore, when the City Grogot many Bugis people who live along the River Kandilo, come all who are interested in the Dutch envoy to conduct trading business in the City Grogot around the year 1829 AD This is because the condition Paser commerce at that time was quite crowded and strategic. Dutch merchant named Alexander Van Soow apply directly to the Sultan of the Kingdom Paser to ask for permission to build a house as a place of business to sell the salt and opium. In his petition the Netherlands since the tongue can not mention Land-E Geroro then finally called the Land Grogod.
Therefore, it can be said that the designation of Land Grogod perfected over time become Grogot spelling. With the passage of time because the conditions Grogot city inhabited by more and more crowded after the Bugis, Banjar come next, Java, etc., that cause the population in the more Grogot. Is more dominant population originated from the Bugis and Banjar, which they quickly assimilated into the culture of the native tribe Paser. Therefore not surprising that at this point can be found in the cultural mix of people in the City Paser Grogot. Over time and the increasing number of residents who came to City Grogot has grown rapidly. In the end, based on Law No. 27 year 1959 on December 29, 1959, City Grogot inaugurated as the capital of the Pas
