On 5 November 1884, the Brunei Sultan ceded his territory, from Sipitang to Kuala Penyu, to British North Borneo Company (BNBC).〔 〕 Sultan of Brunei granted his territory, from Sipitang River to Trusan River, to BNBC on 7 September 1901.〔 〕 of his ''tulin'' right on those areas.〔 〕 Until 1900, the Sipitang River marked the frontier between British North Borneo and the Brunei sultanate. The acquisition of land from Sipitang River to Trusan River in 1901 led to the creation of a station in Sipitang under the administrative area called Clarke Province (named after Sir Andrew Clarke). This station came into being mainly for the purpose of seeking further cession of territories. Nevertheless, complications in the following years led to the reselling of some lands, and the demarcation receded to the present day Sabah-Sarawak border, near Mengalong (now Sindumin). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sipitang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
