A province in Indonesia located at the northern tip of Sumatra island. Known for its Islamic culture, natural disasters, and historical significance as a trading center.
From the Arabic 'Aceh Dar as-Salam' meaning 'Aceh, Abode of Peace.' The name may derive from the Acehnese word 'acèh' or from Sanskrit 'ācāra' meaning 'custom' or 'conduct.'
Aceh holds the poignant distinction of being ground zero for the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, yet its name means 'abode of peace.' This province was also the last Indonesian territory to fall to Dutch colonialism, maintaining independence until 1904.
