Tangerang
Tangerang (Sundanese: ᮒᮍᮨᮛᮀ, Indonesian pronunciation: [ˈt̪aŋəɾaŋ] ⓘ) is the city with the largest population in the province of Banten, Indonesia. Located on the western border of Jakarta and bordered with South Tangerang city, Tangerang is the sixth largest city proper in the nation (excluding Jakarta, which is classed as a province containing five administrative cities and one regency). Tangerang is home to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, the primary airport serving the Jakarta metropolitan area.
The city is an industrial and manufacturing hub for the island of Java and is home to over 1,000 factories. It has an area of 164.55 km2 (63.53 sq mi) and an official 2010 Census population of 1,798,601, which had risen to 1,895,486 at the 2020 Census, making it the eighth most populated suburb in the world at the latter date. In 2024, the population was estimated to be 1,927,815, consisting of 968,776 men and 959,039 women.
As one of the cities around Jakarta, Tangerang partly functions as a dormitory city with numerous residents commuting to Jakarta for work. Many high-class and middle-class satellite cities have been developed in Tangerang, complete with their own shopping malls, private schools and convenience centers. The government[clarification needed] is working on expanding the toll road system to accommodate more traffic flow to and from the area. However, the city also contains many industrial areas, such as Jatake, and business districts, such as Alam Sutera, in its own right.
Since the 2000s, property developers and investors have favored Tangerang to create new economic and commercial centers. Recent and ongoing developments within and around Tangerang City include BSD City, Gading Serpong, Alam Sutera, Modernland, and Lippo Village. Some of those areas are the locations of prominent private universities, such as Bina Nusantara and Bunda Mulia campuses in Alam Sutera area. The Indonesia campus of Monash University is located in BSD area. The British School Jakarta (in South Tangerang City) is located not far from the border of Tangerang City. Moreover, the first IKEA in Indonesia is also operating in Tangerang.
According to F. de Haan's writings taken from the VOC archives, reports that the Banten Sultanate had created a large country located west of the Untung Jawa River, and to fill the new land the Sultan of Banten had displaced 5,000 to 6,000 inhabitants.
In the Dag Register dated December 20, 1668, it was reported that the Sultan of Banten had appointed Raden Sena Pati and Kyai Demang as rulers. On suspicion of seizing the kingdom, Raden Sena Pati and Kyai Demang were sacked by the Sultan.
Prince Dipati was appointed to the region. For the dismissal, Ki Demang pitted Banten against the VOC. But he was killed in Kademangan.
The next VOC archive, the Dag Register dated March 4, 1680, explains that the ruler of Tangerang at that time was Kyai Dipati Soera Dielaga. Kyai Soeradilaga and his son Subraja asked for the protection of the VOC, followed by 143 retinues and soldiers. He and his retinue were given a place on the east side of the river, bordering the VOC. During the fighting with Banten, Soeradilaga and his war experts succeeded in repelling Bantenese troops. For his services, he was given the honorary title of Raden Aria Suryamanggala, while Prince Subraja was given the title of Kyai Dipati Soetadilaga.
