Gouvernment of Atjeh and Dependencies

The Gouvernment of Atjeh and Dependencies (Dutch: Gouvernement Atjeh en Onderhoorigheden) was an administrative subdivision (governorate) of the Dutch East Indies located in northern Sumatra in the region of present-day Aceh, Indonesia which existed from the late nineteenth century to 1938. The capital of the governorate was at Koetaradja (now called Banda Aceh). In 1938, due to a reorganization of the government structure of the Indies, it no longer had a governor and became a Residency instead, called the Atjeh and Dependencies Residency (Dutch: Residentie Atjeh en Onderhoorigheden).
