Batang, Administrative division in Central Java, Indonesia
Batang functions as a regency capital along the northern coast of Java, positioned 100 kilometers west of Semarang near the Pantura highway network.
The establishment of Batang Regency occurred on June 14, 1965, when authorities divided the eastern section from the previous Pekalongan Regency structure.
The population of Batang consists primarily of Javanese residents who communicate in both Indonesian and Javanese languages while maintaining local traditions.
The regency extends across 788 square kilometers, accommodating more than 800,000 residents with access to government services and transportation infrastructure.
During each Jumat Kliwon night, the town square transforms into a large market where numerous vendors gather according to the Javanese calendar system.
