Formerly known as Tanjungbalai-Asahan, this area was once a district within Asahan Regency until it was granted city status in 1984. However, the identifier "Asahan" is still used to distinguish it from the port town of the same name on Great Karimun island. After the separation of Tanjungbalai from Asahan Regency, it technically became an enclave within the regency.
