Kotanopan (Kota Nopan) was a station of the former Dutch Mennonite mission in Sumatra, Indonesia, the capital of (Klein-) Mandailing, and the seat of Dutch government officials, 15 miles (25 km) north of the mission station Pakanten, amid a strictly Muslim population. This station was opened about 1923 by P. Nachtigal.  Several years later some Tobanese Christians settled here, reinforcing the young church.In 1934 it had 53 members. A church was built in 1938. About 1942 this congregation joined the Batak Christian Church.
