Pemalang, Administrative region in Central Java, Indonesia

Located on the north coast of Central Java, Pemalang regency spans 1,115 square kilometers between the Java Sea and mountainous terrain to the south.

The region gained administrative status in 1622 under R. Mangoneng, who established his rule in Hamlet of Oneng and opposed Dutch colonial forces.

The population maintains traditional Javanese customs, speaking regional dialects and preparing local dishes such as Grombyang rice, Dekem rice cake, and Loso satay.

The regency contains fourteen districts with different elevations, ranging from coastal plains at 10 meters to inland areas reaching 105 meters above sea level.

Archaeological discoveries in the Moga district reveal ancient terraced structures and baths, indicating human settlement during prehistoric periods in this area.
