Ciamis (Sundanese: ᮎᮤᮃᮙᮤᮞ᮪, romanized: Ciamis, [t͡ʃiamɪs]) is a district and a town; it is the regency seat of Ciamis Regency in West Java, Indonesia. It covers an area of 33.85 square kilometres (13.07 sq mi). It had a population of 93,744 as of the 2010 Census,[3] 98,610 as of the 2020 Census,[4] and 99,750 as of a mid-2022 official estimate.[2]
History
The process of determining the history of the Ciamis Regency was born with the decree of the Regional House of Representatives of Ciamis Regency of October 6, 1970, concerning the formation of the committee for the preparation of a history of the Galuh Kingdom, where the committee was advised by a team of historians from Ikip Bandung led by Said Raksanegara.
The committee preparing of the history of Galuh intends to explore and study the history of Galuh as a whole, considering that there are several alternatives in determining the date of its inception. Titimangsa Rahyangta in Medang Jati, namely the establishment of the Galuh Kingdom by Wretikkandayun on March 23, 612 AD, or the Rakean Jamri, also called Raiyang Sanjaya, before the Manarah came to power. Or, one could take the date from the following events: the name of Galuh Regency was changed to Ciamis Regency by the Regent, RD. Tumenggung Sastra Winata in 1916; moving the center of government from Imbanagara to Cibatu (Ciamis) by the Regent RD. AA. Wiradikusumah on January 15, 1815; or the transfer of the center of Galuh Regency from Garatengah which is located around Cineam (Tasikmalaya) to Barunay (Imbanagara) on June 12, 1642.
The Ikip Bandung history team finally concluded that the foundation date of the Ciamis Regency was June 12, 1642, which was later confirmed by a decree of the Regional People's Representative Council of the Ciamis Regency on May 17, 1972.[5]
The word galuh comes from the Sanskrit language, and means gemstone; the Kingdom of Galuh means the "realm of beautiful sparkling gems".
From history, it is revealed that the founder of the Galuh kingdom was Wretikkandayun; he was the youngest son of Kandiawan who ruled the Kendan kingdom for 15 years (597–612) and later became a hermit in Layungwatang (brass area) and had the title Rajawesi Dewaraja or Sang Layungwatang. Wretikkandayun was based in Medangjati, but he founded a new government center that was named Galuh (which is located more or less in the present village of Karangkamulyan).
The aim of Wretikkandayun to build a government center in the Karangkamulyan area was to free itself from Tarumanagara, which had been a superpower for a long time. To realize his ambition, he had a good relationship with the Kalingga kingdom in Central Java. Even his youngest son took an oil bath in an arranged marriage with Parwati, the eldest daughter of Maharanissima. He was crowned on the 14th Sukla Paksha, month of the Chaitra, year 134 of the Shaka era (approximately March 23, 612 AD). The date was chosen according to tradition, Tarumanagara, because it is not only done on a full day but also on that date, the sun rises right at the eastern point.

Government
Since regional autonomy was implemented in 2001, in December 2002 Ciamis Regency experienced its first regional expansion, into Ciamis Regency[clarification needed] with 30 districts and Banjar City with four districts. To accommodate the growing population of Ciamis Regency and improve governance efficiency, the region underwent significant changes in 2006. Six additional districts were established, increasing the total from 30 to 36. Similarly, from 2007 to 2009, the number of villages grew by three. These developments aimed to manage the expanding population better and ensure effective local administration. Likewise, for the same period, the number of Neighborhood Associations (RW) and Neighborhood Units (RT) experienced an increase of 27 Rukun Warga and 92 Rukun Tetangga. However, in October 2012, the southern part of the regency was separated to create the new Pangandaran Regency.
The number of civil servants in Ciamis increased from 18,404 in 2008 to 18,966 in 2009. Based on the composition of employees by gender, during 2007–2009, the average number of male employees increased by 1.37 percent while female employees increased by 6.47 percent. Furthermore, the available data also shows a decline in the quality of civil servants in terms of education, namely the increasing number of employees with high school education and below, while the number of employees with higher education (college diploma and above) is decreasing. This is due to the appointment of honorary employees who work in local governments with an average education level of less than high school.
