Bojong Gede (also can be spelled as Bojonggede) is a district (Indonesian: Kecamatan) in the Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia. It is a suburb to Jakarta, and can also be considered as part of its metropolitan region, Greater Jakarta.

Contents

Thanks to its location being a suburb, Bojong Gede is a rather urbanized district, which also makes it densely populated. Like its other neighbouring districts, it is one of the districts in the regency, that lies in between the city of Depok, and Bogor, both also part of Jakarta Raya. This attracts a rather large residential population for the people who would commute to the cities.

This district is served by Bojong Gede railway station and Citayam railway station (located in Depok, near Pabuaran).

History

Bojong Gede was established from the parts of Depok district (within Bogor Regency, now became Depok city) in 1981.

Similar administrative divisions outside of Indonesia include barangays in the Philippines, Muban in Thailand, civil townships and incorporated municipalities in the United States and Canada, communes in France and Vietnam, dehestan in Iran, hromada in Ukraine, Gemeinden in Germany, comuni in Italy, or municipios in Spain.
