History

When the Bogor Regency was selecting a new regency seat in 1975, Ciawi was considered as an option, but was passed over in favor of Cibinong due to Ciawi being too close to Bogor city proper and thus possibly subject to annexation in the future. [4] Indonesia's first toll road, the Jagorawi Toll Road, was opened in 1978, with Ciawi being its terminus. [5] An extension of the toll road, known as the Bocimi Toll Road, similarly passes through Ciawi, connecting Sukabumi to Bogor. [6]

During 2019, there were plans by the neighboring City of Bogor to annex Ciawi into the city. [7] The regency's government has pushed for the Greater Jakarta LRT to be extended up to Ciawi. [8]

Transport

Ciawi possesses a bus terminal serving intercity buses, [9] and is served by a number of Angkot routes. [10]

Administration

The administrative centre is at the town of Bendungan, and the district is sub-divided into thirteen villages (desa), all sharing the postcode of 16720, as listed below with their areas and their populations as at mid 2024. [1]
