History

Under the Dutch East India Company's administration, a "College of Alderman" (Dutch: College van Schepenen) for Batavia was established on 24 July 1620.[3] There was also the College van Heemraden (polder board).[4] In 1905, a municipal body known as the Gemeenten Batavia was established,[5] which was renamed to Stadsgemeente Batavia in 1926. During the Japanese occupation, an advisory body was formed in September 1943.[6]

Following Indonesian independence, a local representative body was established by the new Indonesian government, though it was dissolved shortly afterwards due to Dutch reoccupation of the city. After the transfer of sovereignty, a temporary elected house of 25 members was established in 1950. It was intended as a temporary body but ended up lasting until 1956, when new regulations on local legislation were issued.[6]
