Kertosono, Administrative district in Nganjuk, Indonesia

Kertosono district spans across fourteen villages, including Drenges, Juwono, and Bangsri, with an elevation of 42 meters above sea level.

During the Mataram Sultanate period, Kertosono functioned as an independent kadipaten before merging with surrounding territories to form the Berbek Regency under Dutch rule.

Each of the fourteen villages within Kertosono maintains its own traditional celebrations, featuring local music performances, dance exhibitions, and regional food specialties.

The district serves as a transportation hub with its railway station connecting major routes between Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, and Malang for both passenger and cargo services.

The name Kertosono derives from a historical figure, Mbah Kerto, who defended the region during the Treteg Tosono battle against Dutch colonial forces.
