Banten, Province on western Java, Indonesia
Located at the westernmost tip of Java island, Banten province spans 9,352 square kilometers between the Java Sea and Indian Ocean.
The region transformed from the Sundanese Tarumanagara kingdom in the 4th century to become a separate Indonesian province in October 2000.
The population combines Bantenese, Sundanese, and Javanese communities, with Islamic traditions manifesting through festivals, ceremonies, and architectural sites.
Manufacturing industries, particularly in Tangerang and Cilegon, provide employment opportunities while coastal areas support fishing communities.
The Ujung Kulon National Park contains the last remaining primary lowland rainforest on Java and protects endangered Javan rhinoceros populations.
