Central Sumatra (Indonesian: Sumatera Tengah) was a province in Indonesia whose territories included present day West Sumatra, Riau, Jambi, and the Riau Islands.[3] Since 1957 this province has not been registered as an Indonesian province after it was dissolved by Ordinance-as-Act (Undang-undang Darurat) No. 19/1957 and divided into the provinces of West Sumatra, Riau and Jambi through Law No. 61/1958 by the Sukarno government.[2]
