Lake Toba and Samosir Island are located within the province of North Sumatra among the Indonesian Islands, a location within the India-China trade route, which nourished the flourishing of towns in the area.
During the 17th century, much of North Sumatra was colonized by the Dutch, and by the 1860s they began to clear the land for tobacco plantations. This led to Medan, which became the capital of the province in 1915, becoming a center of government and commerce, and today, tourists usually travel to Medan in order to continue their journeys to Lake Toba, which is about 4 to 6 hours away, depending on selected overland transport.
Samosir Island within the lake now acts as the cultural center of the Bataks, the traditional inhabitants of Sumatra.
