History
Even though the area that was known as
The area that was known as Kemayoran was formerly land owned by the Dutch East India Company commander, Isaac de l'Ostal de Saint-Martin (ca. 1629–96). At the end of the 17th century, Isaac owned a large area in Java, [citation needed] which includes the area that is now Kemayoran, part of Ancol, Krukut at Tegalangus, and Cinere. Isaac held the title major, which is where the name Kemayoran comes from. The name is Mayoran first appeared in Java Government Gazette on February 24, 1816, described as "a land close to Weltevreden". Later, the area was known as Kemayoran until now.[6]
Until the early 20th century, Kemayoran was still dominated by swamps and
At first, the inhabitants of Kemayoran were natives from a mixture of several ethnic groups from the local kingdom of

In 1903, Batavia moved to a decentralized form of government, which marked the period of modern colonialism in Batavia. Many lands are repaired, canals are constructed, and the city is expanded. Lands were purchased for the expansion of the city, which included the settlements of Kemayoran, Petojo, Jatibaru, Cideng, Kramat, and Tanah Tinggi. These lands were allocated to lower-middle-class people. More affluent citizens such as the Dutch people and other higher class people live closer to the center, such as in the Menteng residential area.[5]
Many of the people who resided in Kemayoran were Indo people (mixed Dutch and Indonesian). Most of them lived in Jl. Garuda. Even after World War II, many former Dutch soldiers settled in Kemayoran. Around the 1930s, Kemayoran was known as a settlement of the Indo people, giving rise to a new nickname for Kemayoran, "Belanda Kemayoran" (roughly translates to Kemayoran Netherlands). After Indonesian independence, a wave of urban migrants arrived in Kemayoran and Jakarta from various regions in Indonesia such as West Java, Central Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, East Nusa Tenggara, and West Nusa Tenggara. Because of this, Kemayoran transformed into a more crowded settlement.[5]

Kota Baru Bandara Kemayoran
In 1986, Kemayoran Airport was officially closed. By the 2015-2019 National Medium-Term Long-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) proposes Kemayoran, to be an area that has the opportunity to become a new city.[7] The area that was formerly an airport was gradually turned into other developments such as Jakarta International Expo and Kotabaru Bandar Kemayoran (both of these were located in Pademangan district in North Jakarta instead of Kemayoran district in Central Jakarta. Kemayoran Planning and Development Center (PPK) is responsible for the development as well as monitoring of the area.
Kota Baru has an area of 454 hectares. At present, there are several vertical residential designation blocks, office blocks, hospitals, shopping center blocks as well as five and four-star hotels.[8][9] There is also an urban park of 22.3 hectares area which has a lake, a mangrove area, an amphitheater, viewing towers, jogging tracks, and a hanging bridge.[10]
Government and infrastructure
Government agencies with head offices in Kemayoran include the National Search and Rescue Agency.[11]
Culture
Many indigenous cultures, especially the Betawi culture, flourished in Kemayoran. Among them is the kroncong music, a mixture of indigenous music and Portuguese fado music. Kroncong Tugu, a variation of kroncong that originally came from Tugu (about 12 km east of present-day Jakarta), is a variation that is closely associated with Kemayoran. Because of rapid development, Kemayoran has transformed into a modern city itself. Consequently, cultural values such as the Betawi culture are threatened.[5]
Gambang music also developed in Kemayoran under the influence of China. The variation of gambang that developed in Kemayoran is often called Gambang Kemayoran and it is not referred to as Gambang Kromong because the kromong (a kind of percussion) is not used. Songs that were popular at the time included Onde-onde, Si Jongkong Kopyor, and Kapal Karem.
The
One of the popular artists associated with Kemayoran theater is Benyamin Sueb.
During the 1990s, much of the traditional art and culture of Betawi characteristic of Kemayoran slowly disappeared.
Folklore
There are many folklores associated with Kemayoran, usually involving the conflict between the indigenous people of Kemayoran and the Dutch kompeni (local term for Dutch East India Company who applied huge taxes to the local people.) One of the popular heroes from the legend is Murtado "Si Macan Kemayoran" ("the Kemayoran Tiger") who protected the Kemayoran village area against the Dutch East India Company henchmen and the local bully who oppressed the villagers.
