Sleman Regency
Sleman Regency (Indonesian pronunciation: [səˈleman]; ) is an Indonesian regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten) on the island of Java. It is located in the north of the Yogyakarta Special Administrative Region, Indonesia, and has an area of 574.82 square kilometres (221.94 sq mi), with a population of 1,093,110 at the 2010 Census and 1,125,804 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 1,157,292 - comprising 573,760 males and 583,540 females. Its capital is the town of Sleman. The current regent is Harda Kiswaya.
During the 8th century, the Buddhist Sailendra dynasty controlled Sleman, building numerous temples such as Kalasan. The palace itself was at Ratu Boko.
After the fall of the Sailendra dynasty, the Mataram Kingdom ruled over Sleman, taking control of Ratu Boko palace and eventually commingling with the remnants of the Sailendra dynasty.
The Sanjaya dynasty, which replaced the Mataram kingdom, later ruled over Sleman and is believed to have built Prambanan c. 850 CE.
The existence of Sleman as a regency can be traced back to 15 May 1916. The then Sultan Hamengkubuwono VII of the Yogyakarta Sultanate published Rijksblad No. 11 of 1916, which reorganized the sultanate's territory into three regencies, including Sleman. However, Sleman's status as a Regency was removed in 1927 in a reorganization under Hamengkubuwono VIII and its territory was incorporated to the Yogyakarta Regency. On 8 April 1945, Sleman's status as a Regency was restored by Hamengkubuwono IX. 15th of May has been designated by the government as Sleman's anniversary.
Sleman was incorporated on 8 August 1950 with the passing of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 1950 about the Creation of Regencies within the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
In 2010, numerous eruptions of Mount Merapi and the cold lahar floods afterwards killed 353 people and caused over Rp. 5.5 trillion (US$ 610 million) in damages.
Sleman Regency is located in the north of Yogyakarta Special Region, between the city of Yogyakarta to the south, and the Magelang Regency and Klaten Regency (of Central Java Province) to the northwest and northeast respectively. The northern part is roughly triangular, sloping downhill from Mount Merapi at the northern apex, and is bordered by Central Java Province to the west, north and east. The southern part is dominated by the suburbs of the city of Yogyakarta, notably the densely populated districts of Gamping, Mlati and Depok, and is bordered by the remaining three regencies of the Special Region - Kulon Progo, Bantul, and Gunung Kidul, as well as the city of Yogyakarta to the south.
