Cinere, Administrative district in Depok City, Indonesia.
Cinere is a district in Depok City composed of four urban areas: Cinere, Gandul, Pangkalan Jati, and Pangkalanjati Baru. These neighborhoods form a residential zone with their own local character and layout.
The area was originally called Ci Kanyere and belonged to a VOC employee named Isaac de I'Ostale de Saint Martin during the early colonial period. This early ownership shaped how the region later developed.
The district is home to people from West Java and Banten who brought their traditions and settled here starting in the 1960s, shaping how the neighborhood looks and feels today.
The area is well connected to Jakarta through toll roads, particularly the Cinere-Serpong and Cinere-Jagorawi routes. These roads make it easier to travel to the capital and surrounding regions.
The district borders three separate administrative regions: South Jakarta City, South Tangerang City in Banten Province, and other districts within Depok itself. This position at multiple boundaries gives it an unusual location between different areas.
