Ancient Samarinda people thought that the other side was a village or village. Indeed, it cannot be denied that the word "seberang" for the people of East Kalimantan is identical to the term "hamlet". However, in the last few years this image has changed drastically to the notion that Oppo is no longer a village but a "City of the Future", it could even be said that Samarinda Seberang is currently a new city that is more modern than its old city. This is proven by the rapid development of Samarinda Seberang, Palaran, and Loa Janan, which have populations of more than 200,000 people over the last 5 years. It can be seen from the development of infrastructure and city facilities that are starting to emerge, such as the Mahkota II Bridge, the Mahakam Hulu or Mahulu Bridge, the Gunung Lipan Intek, the Jessica Water Park recreation park, several wide roads, the IA Moeis Regional Hospital, the Plus Melati Middle School/Senior High School, the Stadium. Main Palaran, Kalan Circuit, modern container port in Palaran, several City Government and Provincial Government offices and many other facilities. Not to mention the development being carried out by industry and the private sector, especially in the property sector, such as Pesona Mahakam Estate, Grand Taman Sari, and Bhumi Selamat Kencana. The area of Samarinda Seberang and its surroundings deserves to be called a "New City".
