The city is the capital of <a href="Rokan_Hilir" class="mw-redirect" title="Rokan Hilir">Rokan Hilir</a> Regency in the province and is located on the east coast of <a href="Sumatra" title="Sumatra">Sumatra</a>, on the <a href="Rokan_River" title="Rokan River">Rokan River</a> <a href="River_delta" title="River delta">delta</a> across the strait west of <a href="Malacca" title="Malacca">Malacca</a> and near <a href="Dumai" title="Dumai">Dumai</a>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The town was originally populated mainly by <a href="Chinese_Indonesians" title="Chinese Indonesians">Chinese</a> immigrants<sup id="cite_ref-BSB_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BSB-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: pp xii">: pp xii </span></sup> who arrived at the end of 18th and the beginning of 19th century. Initially eighteen Chinese nationals sailed to Bagansiapiapi around 200 years ago and settled on the delta. All were from the family named (<a href="Ang_(surname)" title="Ang (surname)">Ang</a>;<a href="Chinese_language" title="Chinese language">Chinese</a>: <span lang="zh">洪</span>) . in other dialects). More followed, searching for a new life and seeking to avoid the economic hardships prevalent in <a href="Fujian" title="Fujian">Hokkien</a> (China) at that time.

</p><p>Every year, the Chinese community celebrates the anniversary of Bagansiapiapi, on the 16th day, of the 5th month of the <a href="Moon" title="Moon">Lunar</a> year, believing that the initial immigrant group landed at Bagansiapiapi on that day.

</p><p>Most of the Chinese population are <a href="Hoklo_people" title="Hoklo people">Hokkien</a>, originating from Tang-Ua (TongAn, now part of E-Meng/<a href="Xiamen" title="Xiamen">Xiamen</a>), Kim-Meng (<a href="Kinmen" title="Kinmen">Kinmen</a>, Quemoy, JinMen), and Cin-Kang (JinJiang/<a href="Jinjiang%2C_Fujian" class="mw-redirect" title="Jinjiang, Fujian">Jinjiang</a>). Some <a href="Teochew_people" title="Teochew people">Teochew</a>, living mainly in the southern part, and a minority of <a href="Khek" class="mw-redirect" title="Khek">Khek</a>/<a href="Hakka_people" title="Hakka people">Hakka</a> also populated the town. Most of Chinese population communicate using the Tang-Ua dialect of <a href="Min_Nan" class="mw-redirect" title="Min Nan">Hokkien</a>.

</p><p>Bagansiapiapi was one of the largest fish producers in the world during the late 1980s and early 1990s, ranking second in the world. Bagansiapiapi is also famous for swallow nest farming. <a href="Indonesia" title="Indonesia">Indonesia</a>'s <a href="Bird_nest" title="Bird nest">bird's nests</a> are famous for their quality and are well liked by consumers. This industry has led Bagansiapiapi into a new era of economic growth, involving investment, high activity in building construction and export growth.

</p><p>In recent years, urbanization has been an issue. Most of the youth leave the town after high school to pursue a better life, or higher education in larger cities. They normally return for the traditional family reunion during the <a href="Chinese_New_Year" title="Chinese New Year">Chinese New Year</a> celebrations.

<p>In the 1980s Bagansiapiapi was one of the largest fish producing towns in Indonesia, and the second highest producer of fish in the world, after Bergen in Norway.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>In its development, the fishing industry has made Bagansiapiapi into a modern town. In 1934, Bagansiapiapi already had a drinking water treatment facility, a power plant and a firefighter unit.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Due to the town's progress compared to other areas of <i>afdeeling</i> in Bengkalis, Bagansiapiapi was called as <i> Ville Lumiere </i> or (City of Light).

The fishing industry started with the first wave of Chinese immigrants, attracted to the area by the availability of abundant fishing. The town's heyday came under the jurisdiction of the Dutch East Indies, around 1930, when the fisheries produced 300,000 tons of fish per year. The annual production has fallen since, being particularly affected by a collapse of fish numbers since the 1970s, by which time over 800 trawlers based in the town were fishing the Shunda Shelf.<sup id="cite_ref-TWC_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TWC-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: pp 41.">: pp 41. </span></sup> The trawling ban in Indonesian waters, introduced in 1980, has had a significant effect on the economy of the town.<sup id="cite_ref-TWC_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TWC-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: pp 38.">: pp 38. </span></sup>

</p><p>However, the nickname Bagansiapiapi as a fish town over time are faded. If previously natural factors that make it so known as a fish producer, later it is known that natural factors are also causing the fading gradually because the coast around Bagansiapiapi experience siltation and narrow by the sediment of mud brought water Rokan River. Bagansiapiapi was also famous as the largest traditional shipyard in Indonesia before independence.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Bagansiapiapi's made boats are capable of penetrating various types of marine characteristics so that they are also used in <a href="Java_Island" class="mw-redirect" title="Java Island">Java</a>, <a href="Nusa_Tenggara" class="mw-redirect" title="Nusa Tenggara">Nusa Tenggara</a>, and <a href="Maluku_Islands" title="Maluku Islands">Maluku</a>.

</p><p>Bagansiapiapi boats production meet demand from the smallest of about three-four tons to 300 tons. Shipyards mushroomed in the era of the 1940s until the mid-1980s. In its heyday, the name of Bagansiapiapi was more famous than Pekanbaru and Riau Province.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> But now the business is dead and suspended because of the limitations of wood raw materials and a series of <a href="Act_(document)" title="Act (document)">Act</a> About Forestry. The law states that the central government has full authority to determine the division of forest areas. As a result, the locally dominated wood-searchers, no longer able to cut timber to sell it to shipyard entrepreneurs.
