Bojonegoro

Bojonegoro is an administrative district in East Java, Indonesia, stretching along the southern bank of the Solo River. The area comprises 28 administrative subdivisions and covers roughly 2,300 square kilometers.

The district was established on October 20, 1677, when Mas Toemapel became the first regent. The initial capital was located in the village of Jipang before moving to its current site.

The Samin community follows its own spiritual principles and stands peacefully for its beliefs. This group differs notably from the usual traditions of the surrounding area.

The region has two seasons: heavy rainfall between November and April, followed by much drier months. Visitors should consider weather conditions when planning their time here.

The discovery of large petroleum reserves was one of Indonesia's most significant finds in three decades. These reserves transformed the regional economy and attracted many new businesses.
