Gresik, Coastal regency in East Java, Indonesia

The regency of Gresik spans 1,191 square kilometers along the northern coast of Java, including the distant Bawean Island 125 kilometers offshore.

Since the 11th century, Gresik functioned as an international trading port, attracting merchants from China, Arabia, Champa, and Gujarat until the Dutch colonial period.

The city contains numerous traditional coffee shops called warkop, where residents gather for social interactions and community discussions throughout the day.

The territory comprises eighteen administrative districts, with the main governmental offices situated in the capital city of Gresik near Surabaya.

Two major industrial facilities, Semen Gresik and Petrokimia Gresik, operate in the region, with Semen Gresik providing 41 percent of Indonesia's cement production.
