Thousand Islands, Administrative regency in Jakarta, Indonesia
The Thousand Islands Regency encompasses 342 islands spread across 45 kilometers in the Java Sea, with Pramuka Island serving as the administrative center.
The islands gained strategic importance during the Dutch East India Company period when Onrust Island was established as a naval base in the early 1600s.
The regency maintains small fishing communities across various islands, preserving traditional maritime practices while adapting to modern administrative structures.
Regular ferry services connect the islands to mainland Jakarta, providing transportation for residents and visitors to access essential services on Pramuka Island.
The regent of Thousand Islands holds a distinct position in Indonesian governance as the only administrator directly appointed by the Jakarta governor rather than through elections.
