What to Know About Riau Pekanbaru
Tangerang City is an urban area located in Banten Province. According to local accounts, the name “Tangerang” was originally “Tanggeran,” derived from the Sundanese words tengger and perang. The word tengger means “marker,” referring to a boundary monument built in the mid-17th century to mark the territorial divide between the Banten Sultanate and the VOC. Meanwhile, ‘perang’ (war) reflects the area’s history as a battleground between the Banten Sultanate and VOC forces. Evidence of this past can still be traced through the remains of Banten’s defensive fort on the west side of the Cisadane River and the VOC fort on the east. These fortifications later inspired the nickname “Kota Benteng” (the Fortress City), which remained widely used throughout the colonial era.
Today, Tangerang City has evolved into a modern buffer city for Jakarta, blending Betawi and Chinese cultural heritage with contemporary urban life. The city center attracts both business and leisure travelers with its shopping hubs, culinary spots, and well-connected transportation access.
