Its regency seat is in the district of Central Cikarang. It is bordered by Jakarta Special Region (the administrative cities of North Jakarta and East Jakarta) and by Bekasi City (which is a separate administration from the Regency) to the west, by Bogor Regency to the south, by Karawang Regency to the east and by the Java Sea to the north.
This highly urbanised area (largely suburban to Jakarta to its west) has a land area of Template:Cvt and contained 2,630,401 people at the 2010 Census[1] and 3,113,017 at the 2020 Census,[2] with an average density of Script error: No such module "convert".. The official estimate as at mid 2024 was 3,273,868 (comprising 1,657,207 males and 1,616,661 females).[3] These figures exclude the area and population of the separate City of Bekasi (with 2,644,058 inhabitants in mid 2024), which lies between the Regency and Jakarta, and has been independent of the Regency since 16 December 1996.
The earliest evidence of the existence of Bekasi dates from the 5th century according to the Tugu inscription, which describes the name of two rivers that run through the city, i.e. Candrabhaga and Gomati and one of those rivers, i.e. Candrabhaga is the origin of the name Bekasi where the name Candrabhaga evolved into Bhagasasi due to the Sanskrit word candra which means moon evolved into Old Javanese word ‘sasi’ which also means moon and then the name Bhagasasi was misspelled as Bhagasi and then Dutch colonial government also misspelled the name Bhagasi as Bacassie and finally it became Bekasi.
History
During the colonial era, Bekasi was dominated by particuliere landerijen ('private domains'; Script error: No such module "Lang".) which came under the rule of Landheeren (landlords).[4] The landlords could impose taxation (cuke), tribute (upeti) and force labor (rodi) on the inhabitants of their private estates.[5]
Among the most powerful gentry families in Bekasi was the Khouw family of Tamboen (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[6] They ruled their extensive landholdings from their country house, landhuis Tamboen (now Gedung Juang Tambun).
