Jombang

Located southwest of Surabaya, Jombang Regency spans 1,159 square kilometers of varied terrain, including limestone hills in the north and agricultural lands in the south.

The regency, established in 1910, gained national recognition as the birthplace of Abdurrahman Wahid, who later became the fourth president of Indonesia.

The region maintains numerous pesantren, traditional Islamic boarding schools that serve as educational centers for students arriving from different parts of Indonesia.

The administration divides the territory into twenty-one districts, with the central statistics office situated at Airlangga Street providing demographic and economic data.

The Brantas River creates a natural boundary between the northern limestone hills and the southern agricultural plains of the regency.
