Depok, Metropolitan city in West Java, Indonesia
Depok covers 199 square kilometers between Jakarta and Bogor, with a network of residential areas, commercial districts, and educational institutions at 84 meters elevation.
The land was purchased in 1696 by Dutch East India Company official Cornelis Chastelein, who later freed twelve slave families and granted them portions of the territory.
The population combines Betawi, Javanese, Sundanese, Batak, and Minangkabau ethnic groups, forming a multicultural society with traditional Indonesian influences.
Transportation infrastructure includes KRL Commuterline trains, TransJakarta buses, and Jabodebek LRT connections, linking the city with other parts of Greater Jakarta.
The name Depok derives from 'padepokan', meaning shrine in Indonesian, indicating the location's previous function as a religious retreat before colonial times.
