Cilincing

Cilincing district spreads across seven administrative villages, including Marunda and Kalibaru, along the northern coast of Jakarta at 3 meters above sea level.

Four Dutch manor houses were established in Cilincing during the late 18th century, serving as administrative centers connected to Batavia through a network of canals.

The district name originates from the Sundanese language, where 'Ci' means river and 'Lincing' refers to the carambola plant growing near the local waterway.

The area contains multiple transportation routes connecting to other parts of Jakarta, with regular bus services operating throughout its residential and industrial sectors.

The Marunda Dam project, initiated in 2012, converted numerous hectares into specialized zones for flood control, waste management, and public recreation spaces.
