Kediri (

Brantas River in the province of East Java on the island of Java in Indonesia. It covers an area of 67.23 km2 and had a population of 268,950 at the 2010 Census[2] and 286,796 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 298,830 (comprising 148,296 males and 150,524 females).[1] It is one of two 'Daerah Tingkat II' that have the name 'Kediri' (the other is the Regency of Kediri
, which surrounds the city). The city is administratively separated from the Regency, of which it was formerly the capital.

Archaeological artefacts discovered in 2007 appeared to indicate that the region around Kediri may have been the location of the Kediri Kingdom, a Hindu kingdom in the 11th century.[4]

The city is a major trade centre for the Indonesian sugar and cigarette industry.[5] Kediri is the second largest city by economy in East Java, after Surabaya, with a 2016 estimated GDP at Rp76.95 trillion.[6]

History

Traditionally, the city of Kediri is said to have been founded on 27 July 879,

Kediri kingdom.[9]: 146–147, 158  Over the centuries, control of the city passed to the Singhasari, Majapahit, Demak and Mataram
kingdoms.

The name "Kediri", or "Kadiri", is derived from the Sanskrit word Khadri, meaning Indian Mulberry, indicative of the mulberry trees (locally known as pacé or mengkudu) which grew in the area.

After the era of the Javanese kingdoms, Kediri went into decline, becoming a small rural settlement, which was later annexed by the

Pakubuwana II, Sunan Kartasura. Kediri then became part of the VOC and remained under Dutch control until the independence of Indonesia in 1945.[10]

Kediri began to flourish when the Dutch East Indies founded the autonomous Gemeente Kediri in 1906. Zelfstanding Gemeenteschap (self-government with full autonomy) was granted in 1928.

During the Indonesian National Revolution in 1945–1949, Kediri became a target of General Sudirman's guerrilla campaign. Kediri suffered terrible bloodshed during the Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66 after the failed 30 September Movement coup. One estimate suggests that around 13% of Kediri's population or 22,000 people were killed during the Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66.[11]
