HAMPARAN PERAK, ABANG SENIOR KOTA MEDAN

DID YOU KNOW, HAMPARAN PERAK WAS THE CAPITAL OF SEPULUH TWO KUTA, A PIONEER VILLAGE OF GURU PATIMPUS, KNOWN AS THE FOUNDER OF MEDAN CITY, THE CITY OF NORTH SUMATRA. THAT MEANS THE CITY OF HAMPARAN PERAK WAS THE CENTER OF GOVERNMENT BEFORE MEDAN CITY WAS ESTABLISHED. IN MEDAN LANGUAGE, HAMPARAN PERAK IS MEDAN'S SENIOR OR OLDER BROTHER. BUT THE HISTORY OF HAMPARAN PERAK'S IDENTITY HAS ALMOST BEEN LOST SINCE THE SOCIAL REVOLUTION OF 1946. THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IS NOW DESTROYED AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF CULTURAL HERITAGE.
