History
Mads Lange, a Danish copra trader, and 19th-century adventurer set up a successful trading enterprise near modern-day Kuta in 1839. He mediated profitably between local rajahs (lords or princes) and the Dutch, who were encroaching from the north. His business soured in the 1850s and he died suddenly, just as he was about to return to Denmark. It’s thought that his death may have been the result of poisoning by locals jealous of his wealth. Lange bred Dalmatians and today locals assume that any dog with a hint of black and white has some of this blood.
As a result, beach tourism got its start in Bali. Bob and Louise Koke – a globetrotting couple from the US – opened a small guesthouse on deserted Kuta Beach in the 1930s. The guests from Europe and the US stayed in thatched bungalows built in an idealized Balinese style. In a prescient move, Bob taught the locals to surf, something he’d learned in Hawaii.
During the late 1960s, Kuta really began to change and it became a modern village.
