Babelan

Babelan is an administrative district in Bekasi that spans flat terrain with residential neighborhoods, agricultural areas, and small industrial zones spread throughout. The area sits about 6 meters above sea level and features several river systems flowing through its boundaries.

The name Babelan comes from "Baba Land," referring to a landowner who controlled large territories in this region in earlier centuries. This connection to a individual landowner shaped the district's historical identity.

The district incorporates multiple educational institutions, including Islamic boarding schools and public high schools that serve the local population of 209,564 residents.

The district connects to Jakarta through various public transportation options including bus routes and commuter rail networks for daily travelers. Visitors can easily navigate between different areas of the district and reach surrounding regions.

Multiple rivers from the Jonggol Highlands in Bogor flow through the area, including the Bekasi and Cikeas Rivers, providing continuous water supply. These water systems are essential for farming and local water needs.
