A. HISTORY OF BOGOR
 Bogor is one of the oldest cities in Indonesia, which was founded in the 16th century (in the year 1579). Before the Dutch and VOC occupation, Bogor was the center of the Kingdom of Pajajaran. But after the invasion of troops from Banten, the city was destroyed and for one century it was almost wiped out from history. By the time VOC occupied Banten and its vicinity, Bogor also fell under the control of VOC.

Parung Angsana which was named Kampung Baru (The New Village) was the origin of modern Bogor (Tanujiwa 1689-1705). In Kampung Baru, a kind of holiday residence was built by GJ. Baron Van Imhoff (1740), which is now known as the Bogor Palace. In 1745, the city was given the name Buitenzorg, which meant "beyond worry". In 1904, Buitenzorg was formally appointed as capital and residence of the Governor General of the Dutch Indies, covering an area of 1,205 hectares, and comprising 2 sub-districts (Kecamatan) and 7 villages.

In 1924, through the decree of the Governor General of the Dutch Indies Number 289 of 1924, the villages of Bantar Jati and Tegalega were added to the district, an expansion of 951 hectares, which made the area of Buitenzorg to total 2,156 hectares. The area was designed to be inhabited by 30,000 people. In 1941, Buitenzorg was formally separated from Batavia, and was given autonomy.

The Indonesian Act Number 16 of 1950 established the City of Bogor as a big city and municipality, which was divided into 2 Kecamatans and 16 neigborhoods.
