History

After World War II, Temanggung Regency was one of the areas in central Java where the Communist Party (PKI) had its rural strongholds. In the 21st century, Temanggung Regency provided a hideout for members of the Islamist Jemaah Islamiyah. [5]

The majority of the population of the Temanggung Regency is Muslim. It was once predominantly Hindu for thousands of years. The oldest stone structure in Indonesia is found here; four temples of Shiva, and one of the trinity of Hinduism. Though there were 400, only four remain. [6]

Economy

The big cash crop in the Temanggung Regency is tobacco. [7] Other cash crops include patchouli oil, honey and soy oil. The traditional herbal medicine, jamu, is the basis of local industry, as is the production of cigars. Silkworms are raised in the area around the town of Candiroto.

Transportation

There is a rail line from Parakan through the town of Temanggung south to Magelang and on to the junction with the coastal rail lines; [8] however, it is currently closed by the government due to operational costs.
