Outside of Java, Medan is the largest city and holds the central of government and commercial sector for the western part of Indonesia. Medan is well known for their tobacco plantation. Medan is also one of the most important port in Indonesia outside of Java. The latest addition of the Kuala Namu International Airport (still in progress) will give a huge impact on the growth of Medan commercial sector and will support the activity of becoming the central of the western part of Indonesia.

Batak people colour Medan with their hard work and strong character. Many are come from areas in North Sumatera such as, Toba, Sibolga, and Tanah Karo. The Batak have been established in Medan for many years, so sometimes people think they're the Medan natives.
