Pulo Gadung 2

Pulo Gadung extends across seven administrative villages, bordered by major roads including Bekasi Timur Raya and Perintis Kemerdekaan in the northern part of East Jakarta.

The district received its official designation in 1956, deriving its name from 'pulo' meaning island and 'gadung', a tuber plant that grew abundantly in the area.

The Jakarta International Velodrome and Jakarta International Equestrian Park within Pulo Gadung represent major sporting venues that host regional competitions.

The district contains multiple transportation hubs including Pulo Gadung Terminal, Cipinang railway station, and Klender railway station, connecting residents to various parts of Jakarta.

Several rivers originating from Jonggol, Bogor flow through Pulo Gadung, influencing its name which translates to 'island' despite not being surrounded by water.
