East Bekasi

East Bekasi is a district of Bekasi containing four urban villages: Bekasi Jaya, Margahayu, Duren Jaya, and Aren Jaya. The area sits within the Jabodetabek metropolitan region and spans roughly 1,500 hectares.

The area was part of the Kingdom of Tarumanagara in the fifth century, an early Javanese realm. Its name comes from the Candrabhaga River, mentioned in local historical inscriptions.

The district is home to Javanese, Betawi, and Sundanese communities who maintain their traditions through local celebrations and regional food. You can experience this diversity in the neighborhoods, where different groups live side by side and practice their own customs.

The Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road connects the district to the capital, offering quick journeys to the wider region. The KRL Commuterline and Jabodebek LRT provide public transportation for daily mobility.

The Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium is the main hub for regional sports events and football matches in the district. The stadium is home to local teams and regularly draws visitors from across the region.
