In 1745, the forerunner of the Bogor community originally came from nine residential groups combined by Governor Baron Van Inhof to become the core of the Bogor Regency community. At that time the Regent of Demang Wartawangsa was trying to improve the quality of the environment and the welfare of the people based on agriculture by digging a canal from Ciliwung to Cimahpar and from Nanggewer to Kalibaru/Kalimulya. Excavations to make the river canal continued around the center of government, but in 1754 the center of government was located in Tanah Baru and then moved to Sukahati (Kampung Empang now). [3]
There are various opinions about the birth of the name Bogor itself. One opinion states that the name Bogor comes from the word Bahai or Baqar which means cow on the grounds that there is evidence of a statue of a cow in the Bogor Botanical Gardens.
Another opinion states that the name Bogor comes from the word Bokor which means palm tree stump (kawung). The opinion above has its own basis and reasons for being believed to be true by each expert. However, based on historical records that on April 7, 1752, the word Bogor appeared in a document and it was written Hoofd Van de Negorij Bogor, which means head of the Bogor village. In the document it is also known that the head of the village is located within the location of the Botanical Gardens itself which was started in 1817.
The historical journey of Bogor Regency has a close relationship with the era of the kingdom that once ruled in the region. In the previous four centuries, Sri Baduga Maharaja was known as the king who initiated the era of the Pajajaran kingdom, the king was famous for 'the teachings of the venerable ancestors who pursued prosperity'. Since then successively recorded in the history of the kingdoms that once ruled in the region, namely:
- The Kingdom of Taruma Negara, ruled by 12 kings. Ruled from 358 to 669.
- Galuh Kingdom, ruled by 14 kings. Ruled from 516 to 852.
- Sunda kingdom, ruled by 28 kings. Reigned from 669 to 1333. Then continued the Kawali Kingdom which was ruled by 6 kings which lasted from 1333 to 1482.
- The Kingdom of Pajajaran, ruled from 1482 to 1579. The inauguration of the king, known as Sri Baduga Maharaja, became a special concern. At that time it was known as the Kuwedabhakti ceremony, which was held on June 3, 1482. That date was presumably later designated as Bogor's Anniversary which was officially confirmed through the plenary session of the DPRD for the Second Level Region of Bogor on May 26, 1972.
In 1975, the Central Government (in this case the Minister of Home Affairs) instructed that Bogor Regency should have a Government Center in its own Regency area and move from the Bogor Municipal Government Center. On this basis, the Bogor Level II regional government conducted research in several areas of the Bogor Level II Regency District to become a candidate for the capital city as well as to act as the center of government. Alternative locations to be chosen include the Ciawi District (Rancamaya), Leuwiliang, Parung and Cibinong District (Central Village).
The results of further research indicate that what is submitted to the Central government for approval as a candidate for the capital city is Rancamaya in the Ciawi District. However, the central government considers that Rancamaya is still relatively close to the center of government of Bogor Municipality and it is feared that it will be included in the plan for expansion and development of the Bogor Municipality area.
Therefore, at the direction of the central government, the regional government of Level II Bogor should take an alternative area from the results of other research. In the Plenary Session of the DPRD for the Second Level Region of Bogor in 1980, it was determined that the candidate for the capital city of the Bogor Regency Level II was located in the Middle Village, Cibinong District.
The determination of the candidate for the capital city was proposed back to the Central government and was approved and confirmed by Government Regulation No. 6 of 1982, which stipulates that the capital city of the central government of the Level II Regency of Bogor is domiciled in the Middle Village, Cibinong District. Since then, the plan for the preparation of the central government for the development of the capital city of the Bogor Level II Regency has begun and on October 5, 1985 the groundbreaking was carried out by the Regent of the Head of the Second Level Region of Bogor at that time.
From a historical perspective, Bogor Regency is one of the areas that became the center of the oldest kingdom in Indonesia. Records of the Sung Dynasty in China and inscriptions found at the Tempuran of the Ciaruteun river with the Cisadane river, show that at least in the early half of the 5th century AD in this region there existed a form of government. The old history of the Sung Dynasty records that in 430, 433, 434, 437, and 452 the Holotan Kingdom sent envoys to China. Historian Prof. Dr. Slamet Muljana in his book Dari Holotan to Jayakarta concludes that Holotan is a Chinese transliteration of the word Aruteun, and the kingdom of Aruteun is one of the oldest Hindu kingdoms on the island of Java. The Ciaruteun inscription is historical evidence of the transfer of power from the Aruteun kingdom to the Tarumanagara kingdom under King Purnawarman, around the latter half of the 5th century.
Other inscriptions left by Purnawarman are the Kebon Kopi inscription in Cibungbulang District, the Jambu inscription on Koleangkak Hill (Pasir Gintung, Leuwiliang District), and the Lebak inscription (in the middle of the Cidanghiyang river, Banten Province). In the 6th and 7th centuries, the Tarumanagara Kingdom was the sole ruler of the West Java region. After Tarumanagara, in the following centuries the famous kingdoms that had appeared in the Land of Pasundan (West Java) were Sunda, Pajajaran, Galuh, and Kawali. Everything is inseparable from the existence of the Bogor area and its surroundings. The history of the beginning of the founding of Bogor Regency, was set on June 3 which was inspired by the inauguration date of the famous King of Pajajaran, namely Sri Baduga Maharaja which was held on June 3, 1482 for nine days called the "Kedabhakti" ceremony.
The name Bogor according to various opinions that the word Bogor comes from the word "Buitenzorg" the official name of the Dutch colonialists. Another opinion comes from the word "Bahai" which means cow, which happens to be a statue of a cow in the Bogor Botanical Gardens. While the third opinion states that Bogor comes from the word "Bokor" which means palm tree stump (kawung). In another version, the name Bogor appeared in a document dated April 7, 1952, it was written "Hoofd Van de Negorij Bogor" which means more or less the Head of Kampung Bogor, which according to later information that Kampung Bogor was located within the location of the Bogor Botanical Gardens which was being built. in 1817. The origin of the people of Bogor Regency, the forerunner was from the merger of nine Settlement Groups by Governor General Baron Van Inhof in 1745, so that it becomes a community unit that develops into a great future. This community unit is the core of the Bogor Regency community.
The Bogor Government Center was originally still in the area of Bogor City, namely Panaragan, then based on Government Regulation No. 6 of 1982, the capital city of Bogor Regency was moved and established in Cibinong. Since 1990 the center of government activities has occupied the Government Office in Cibinong.
