Geography
[edit]Ponorogo Regency is located in the southwestern part of the province of East Java on the border with Central Java province. It lies approximately 200 km (120 mi) south-west of Surabaya, the provincial capital of East Java. The regency lies between 92 and 2,563 metres (302 and 8,409 ft) above sea level and covers an area of about 1,418.77 km2 (547.79 sq mi).
History
[edit]According to the Babad Ponorogo history, Ponorogo was founded when Bathoro Katong conquered the Wengker region. This region had previously been controlled by Suryo Ngalam Wengker. Bathoro Katong originally settled in modern-day Pekalongan in what is now the village of Setono in the Jenangan District. Though faced with many obstacles, Raden Katong, Aji Selo, and Ki Ageng Mirah and his family continued to establish settlements in the region.
With the consent of all parties, Bathoro Katong established the Duchy of Ponorogo on 11 August 1496.[5] This date is celebrated as the founding of Ponorogo and is corroborated by ancient objects, such as a pair of stone gilangs located in front of the fifth gate of the Katong Batara tomb complex. The gilang contains the forms of a human meditating, trees, eagle, and elephants (candrasengkala gilang memet); all of which combine to represent the Saka year 1496.
Economy
[edit]Ponorogo Regency is one of the fastest-growing regencies in East Java. To improve irrigation and economy, a new "Bendo Dam" was built and officially opened in September 2021.[6]
Administrative districts
[edit]The regency is divided into twenty-one districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 census[3] and 2020 census,[4] together with the official estimates as of mid 2023.[1] The districts all have the same names as their administrative centres. The table also includes the number of administrative villages in each district (totaling 281 rural desa and 26 urban kelurahan), and its postal codes.
