This study uses descriptive qualitative research method. The findings of this research showed that the process of acculturation Malay and Muslim Toba Batak culture in the city emerged from the government of Tanjungbalai Sultan Asahan I who ruled in the city before the independence era of the Republic of Indonesia. Religious leaders (ulama) and traditional leaders also played a role in the acculturation process of Malay cultural values in Tanjungbalai, especially in the Batak Toba ethnic Muslim milieu. Acculturation between these two cultures gave birth to a Malay culture which led to a different characteristic to the Malay culture in the archipelago.
