Surakarta is the birthplace of the current President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo. He served as Mayor of Surakarta from 2005 to 2012.

History

Hominid habitation in the region of Surakarta is evidenced from roughly one million years ago, the age of the "Java Man" skeleton found 80 kilometers upstream. Another famous early hominid from this area is called "Solo Man".

The Surakarta area was part of the Mataram Kingdom and in this time a village called Wulayu seems to have already existed in or around the present-day city of Surakarta, as evidenced by a ferry charter issued by Balitung in A.D. 904. The Majapahit empire renewed this ferry charter in 1358.[6][7]

By the 18th century, the village had acquired the name of Sala. This name is said to be derived from the sala tree. As the Javanese pronunciation "Sala" ([sɔlɔ]) was considered difficult to pronounce by the Dutch, the name later morphed into "Solo" ([solo]).[8]

In 1745, on the basis of astrological calculations and Dutch commercial interest, Surakarta was chosen to be the new capital of the Mataram Sultanate which was on the verge of becoming a vassal state of the Dutch East India Company. The formal name is derived from the previous capital Kartasura. The official court history claims that Surakarta originally stood on a lake, which was drained by the favor of the mythical queen of the southern sea, Kanjeng Ratu Kidul.

In the ensuing colonial era, the kingdom of Mataram was divided into the Surakarta Sunanate (northern court) and the Yogyakarta Sultanate (southern court). Surakarta ruled by hereditary monarchs, who were given the unique Javanese cultural title Susuhunan. Since both Surakarta and Yogyakarta had become vassal states of the Dutch, traditional court arts, notably gamelan, were developed to demonstrate cultural power instead of developing military power.

Pakubuwono X

Perhaps the most significant ruler of the 20th century was Pakubuwono X. His relationship with the Dutch, his large family, and his popularity contributed to perhaps the largest funeral procession that ever occurred in Surakarta. He had spent a large amount of money on the Royal Graveyard at Imogiri, both the main sections of the graveyard and the new section that he was buried in. In the era just prior to independence Surakarta had European, Chinese, and Arab quarters.

Struggle for independence

After hearing the proclamation of Indonesian Independence, Pakubuwono XII declared Surakarta a part of the Republic of Indonesia. Because of this support, President Sukarno declared Surakarta a Special Region with the Susuhunan, Pakubuwono XII, continuing as governor. This terminology was also used for the Special Region of Yogyakarta, which continues to be legally governed by its sultan to this day. However, unlike Yogyakarta, Surakarta had intense, organized resistance to the continuation of the monarchy. In October 1945, a republican movement was established in Surakarta led by Tan Malaka, a member of the Indonesian Communist Party. [9]

On October 17, the vizier of Surakarta, KRMH Sosrodiningrat V (a member of the BPUPK), was kidnapped. The new vizier, KRMT Yudonagoro, and 9 other court officials were also kidnapped by the same movement in March 1946, including heir to the viziership KRMTH Wuryaningrat.[10]

In response, Prime Minister of Indonesia Sutan Syahrir met with Wuryaningrat and other Surakarta leaders in May and agreed to abolish the established government entirely.[11]

On June 16, 1946, the Surakarta "special region" was abolished and replaced with a regency (kabupaten), administered by a republican government outside the control of the Susuhunan and his court. This event is commemorated as the birthday of the city of Surakarta.[9]

On June 26, Prime Minister Sutan Syahrir was kidnapped in Surakarta by a rebel movement led by Major General Soedarsono, the commander of the 3rd division. President Sukarno was angry at this kidnapping and on July 1, 1946, 14 communist leaders including Tan Malaka were arrested by Indonesian police on Sukarno's instructions. However, Soedarsono freed the rebel leaders immediately. Sukarno asked the local military commander in Surakarta, Lieutenant Colonel Suharto to arrest Major General Soedarsono and the rebel group. [12]

Suharto refused to follow this command unless it was given directly by the Military Chief of Staff, General Soedirman. Sukarno was angry at this rejection of his commanding authority, and called Suharto a stubborn (koppig) officer.[12]

Suharto pretended to support the rebellion and persuaded Soedarsono and his group to stay at his headquarters at Wiyoro, Surakarta for their own safety. Later that night he persuaded Soedarsono to meet President Sukarno at his palace the next morning. Suharto secretly informed the presidential guard troops about Soedarsono's plan on the next morning. On July 3, 1946, Soedarsono and his group were arrested by the presidential guard near the palace. Prime Minister Syahrir was released unharmed. Several months later, Maj. Gen. Soedarsono and his group were pardoned and released from prison.[13]

However, this did not halt the ascendancy of the Communist Party in Surakarta. In November 1946, the communists kidnapped the regent and vice-regent and seized power for themselves, a coup quickly legitimated after the fact by Sukarno. In 1947, Amir Sjarifuddin appointed Wikana, a communist, as Surakarta's military governor.[14]

In December 1948, the Dutch attacked and occupied the cities of Yogyakarta and Surakarta as part of Operation Kraai. The Indonesian Army, led by General Soedirman, started a guerrilla war from surrounding areas. The Dutch declared that the Republic had been destroyed and no longer existed. To disprove this, the Indonesian army conducted large-scale raids into the cities of Yogyakarta and Surakarta, called Serangan Oemoem. On August 7, 1949, Indonesian troops led by Slamet Riyadi managed to defeat the Dutch troops and occupied the city for several hours. To commemorate this event, the main street of the city of Surakarta was renamed Brigadier General Slamet Riyadi Street. [15]

Surakarta remained under communist control until October 1965. Local government was unclear about how to proceed after the 30 September Movement and went about business as usual. As a result, Suharto's forces entered Surakarta without resistance, mobilized local youth paramilitaries, and indiscriminately slaughtered the entire local government.[16]

Administrative divisions

 
Surakarta City Hall.

After Surakarta became a city, it was divided into five districts (kecamatan), each led by a camat, and subdivided into 51 kelurahan, each led by a lurah. The districts of Surakarta City are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census,[17] together with the latest official estimates (for mid 2019).[2] The table also includes the number of administrative villages (urban kelurahan) in each district and its administrative centre:[18]

  • Kecamatan Pasar Kliwon (Postal code: 57110): 9 kelurahan
  • Kecamatan Jebres (Postal code: 57120): 11 kelurahan
  • Kecamatan Banjarsari (Postal code: 57130): 13 kelurahan
  • Kecamatan Laweyan (also spelled Lawiyan, Postal code: 57140): 11 kelurahan

Greater Surakarta

 
Panorama view of Surakarta at day.

Surakarta as a dense core city in Central Java, and its second city, spills considerably into neighboring regencies. Surakarta City and its surrounding regencies, Karanganyar, Sragen, Wonogiri, Sukoharjo, Klaten, and Boyolali, are collectively called the ex-Surakarta Residency (Dutch: Residentie Soerakarta).[citation needed]

Though a traffic study quotes the population as 1,158,000 as of 2008, this reflects only the very core, as the city affects entire neighboring regencies by significantly driving up overall population densities in Sukoharjo Regency and Klaten Regency over the already dense countryside. Furthermore, the government of Indonesia officially defines a broader region as Surakarta's extended metropolitan zone, with the acronym Subosukawonosraten as the city and 6 surrounding regencies,[19] which reflects a broader planning region, though not a core metropolitan area as some of its regencies are not particularly suburbanized. Both the metropolitan area and extended areas border Yogyakarta's metropolitan area, while only the extended metropolitan area borders Kedungsapur or Greater Semarang.[citation needed]

Sports

Surakarta has a long sport history and tradition. In 1923 Solo already had a football club, one of the earliest clubs in Indonesia (at that time still the Dutch Indies), called Persis Solo. Persis Solo was a giant club in the Dutch Indies and still exists, but is past its heyday. During the Perserikatan tournament, Persis became seven-time champion. Currently it plays in the Liga 1 Indonesia. Other than Persis, several clubs have existed in Solo: Arseto, Pelita Solo, Persijatim Solo FC, and lastly Solo FC played in the Indonesian Premier League in 2011. Both clubs that still exist, Persis and Solo FC, have made Manahan Stadium their home ground. Manahan Stadium is one of the best sports stadiums in Central Java, with more than 25,000 seats, and has several times hosted national and international matches. It was recently the venue for the AFC Champions Cup 2007, the final venue of the Indonesian Cup 2010, and the opening venue for the Indonesian Premiere League on January 15, 2011.[42]

There are several direct lines to other cities, such as Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Semarang, Ngawi and Malang. For regional traffic, a commuter train KRL Commuterline Yogyakarta–Solo connects Surakarta and Yogyakarta.

On 26 July 2011 the Bathara Kresna Rail Bus has been launched to serve Purwosari–Wonogiri route, but for the moment only Purwosari-Sukoharjo trackage was ready due to there are 99 bridges should be strengthen between Sukoharjo-Wonogiri.[52] Until April 2012, Surakarta-Wonogiri railbus is still in a big question mark due to the 12 tons railbuses are considered too heavy for existing railroad track that only has the capacity of accommodating 10-ton vehicles, furthermore PT KAI have proposed a fare between Rp30,000 ($3.27) and Rp40,000 ($4.36) per passenger, while Surakarta administration wants tickets to be priced much lower between Rp5,000 ($0.54) and Rp7,000 ($0,76).[53]

million years ago the age of the Java Man skeleton found 80 kilometers upstream Another famous early hominid from this area is called Solo Man The Surakarta area was part of the Mataram Kingdom and in this time a village called Wulayu seems to have already existed in or around the present day city of Surakarta as evidenced by a ferry charter issued by Balitung in A D 904 The Majapahit empire renewed this ferry charter in 1358 6 7 By the 18th century the village had acquired the name of Sala This name is said to be derived from the sala tree As the Javanese pronunciation Sala sɔlɔ was considered difficult to pronounce by the Dutch the name later morphed into Solo solo 8 In 1745 on the basis of astrological calculations and Dutch commercial interest Surakarta was chosen to be the new capital of the Mataram Sultanate which was on the verge of becoming a vassal state of the Dutch East India Company The formal name is derived from the previous capital Kartasura The official court history claims that Surakarta originally stood on a lake which was drained by the favor of the mythical queen of the southern sea Kanjeng Ratu Kidul In the ensuing colonial era the kingdom of Mataram was divided into the Surakarta Sunanate northern court and the Yogyakarta Sultanate southern court Surakarta ruled by hereditary monarchs who were given the unique Javanese cultural title Susuhunan Since both Surakarta and Yogyakarta had become vassal states of the Dutch traditional court arts notably gamelan were developed to demonstrate cultural power instead of developing military power Pakubuwono X Edit Perhaps the most significant ruler of the 20th century was Pakubuwono X His relationship with the Dutch his large family and his popularity contributed to perhaps the largest funeral procession that ever occurred in Surakarta He had spent a large amount of money on the Royal Graveyard at Imogiri both the main sections of the graveyard and the new section that he was buried in In the era just prior to independence Surakarta had European Chinese and Arab quarters Struggle for independence Edit After hearing the proclamation of Indonesian Independence Pakubuwono XII declared Surakarta a part of the Republic of Indonesia Because of this support President Sukarno declared Surakarta a Special Region with the Susuhunan Pakubuwono XII continuing as governor This terminology was also used for the Special Region of Yogyakarta which continues to be legally governed by its sultan to this day However unlike Yogyakarta Surakarta had intense organized resistance to the continuation of the monarchy In October 1945 a republican movement was established in Surakarta led by Tan Malaka a member of the Indonesian Communist Party 9 On October 17 the vizier of Surakarta KRMH Sosrodiningrat V a member of the BPUPK was kidnapped The new vizier KRMT Yudonagoro and 9 other court officials were also kidnapped by the same movement in March 1946 including heir to the viziership KRMTH Wuryaningrat 10 In response Prime Minister of Indonesia Sutan Syahrir met with Wuryaningrat and other Surakarta leaders in May and agreed to abolish the established government entirely 11 On June 16 1946 the Surakarta special region was abolished and replaced with a regency kabupaten administered by a republican government outside the control of the Susuhunan and his court This event is commemorated as the birthday of the city of Surakarta 9 On June 26 Prime Minister Sutan Syahrir was kidnapped in Surakarta by a rebel movement led by Major General Soedarsono the commander of the 3rd division President Sukarno was angry at this kidnapping and on July 1 1946 14 communist leaders including Tan Malaka were arrested by Indonesian police on Sukarno s instructions However Soedarsono freed the rebel leaders immediately Sukarno asked the local military commander in Surakarta Lieutenant Colonel Suharto to arrest Major General Soedarsono and the rebel group 12 Suharto refused to follow this command unless it was given directly by the Military Chief of Staff General Soedirman Sukarno was angry at this rejection of his commanding authority and called Suharto a stubborn koppig officer 12 Suharto pretended to support the rebellion and persuaded Soedarsono and his group to stay at his headquarters at Wiyoro Surakarta for their own safety Later that night he persuaded Soedarsono to meet President Sukarno at his palace the next morning Suharto secretly informed the presidential guard troops about Soedarsono s plan on the next morning On July 3 1946 Soedarsono and his group were arrested by the presidential guard near the palace Prime Minister Syahrir was released unharmed Several months later Maj Gen Soedarsono and his group were pardoned and released from prison 13 However this did not halt the ascendancy of the Communist Party in Surakarta In November 1946 the communists kidnapped the regent and vice regent and seized power for themselves a coup quickly legitimated after the fact by Sukarno In 1947 Amir Sjarifuddin appointed Wikana a communist as Surakarta s military governor 14 In December 1948 the Dutch attacked and occupied the cities of Yogyakarta and Surakarta as part of Operation Kraai The Indonesian Army led by General Soedirman started a guerrilla war from surrounding areas The Dutch declared that the Republic had been destroyed and no longer existed To disprove this the Indonesian army conducted large scale raids into the cities of Yogyakarta and Surakarta called Serangan Oemoem On August 7 1949 Indonesian troops led by Slamet Riyadi managed to defeat the Dutch troops and occupied the city for several hours To commemorate this event the main street of the city of Surakarta was renamed Brigadier General Slamet Riyadi Street 15 Surakarta remained under communist control until October 1965 Local government was unclear about how to proceed after the 30 September Movement and went about business as usual As a result Suharto s forces entered Surakarta without resistance mobilized local youth paramilitaries and indiscriminately slaughtered the entire local government 16 Administrative divisions Edit Surakarta City Hall After Surakarta became a city it was divided into five districts kecamatan each led by a camat and subdivided into 51 kelurahan each led by a lurah The districts of

Surakarta Residency Dutch Residentie Soerakarta citation needed Though a traffic study quotes the population as 1 158 000 as of 2008 this reflects only the very core as the city affects entire neighboring regencies by significantly driving up overall population densities in Sukoharjo Regency and Klaten Regency over the already dense countryside Furthermore the government of Indonesia officially defines a broader region as Surakarta s extended metropolitan zone with the acronym Subosukawonosraten as the city and 6 surrounding regencies 19 which reflects a broader planning region though not a core metropolitan area as some of its regencies are not particularly suburbanized Both the metropolitan area and extended areas border Yogyakarta s metropolitan area while only the
