Hatta was born in Fort De Kock (now known as Bukittinggi) on 12 August 1902.
Bukittinggi used to be known as Fort de Kock and was once dubbed 'Parijs van Sumatera'. The city was the capital of Indonesia during the Emergency Government of the Republic of Indonesia. Before it became the capital of PDRI, the city was a centre of government at the time of the Dutch East Indies and during the Japanese colonial period.
The city is the birthplace of Mohammad Hatta, Indonesian co-proclamator and Assaat, then Indonesian acting president. Bukittinggi produces an abundance of statesmen, ministers, doctors, economist, and scholars who make great contribution to Indonesia, namely Sutan Sjahrir, Agus Salim, Bahder Djohan, Rohana Kudus, Emil Salim, and others
