Bekasi Regency (Template:Lang-su) is a Regency (kabupaten) of West Java Province, Indonesia. The administrative centre is the district of Central Cikarang. It is bordered by Banten and Bekasi City (which is a separate administration from the Regency) to the west, by Bogor Regency to the south, and by Karawang Regency to the east.

It has an area of 1,224.88 km2 and contained 2,630,401 people[2] at the 2010 Census; the latest official estimate (as at mid 2020) is 3,899,017, with an average density of 3,183 people/km2.

History

During the colonial era, Bekasi was dominated by particuliere landerijen ('private domains'; Indonesian: tanah partikelir) which came under the rule of Landheeren (landlords).[3] The landlords could impose taxation (cuke), tribute (upeti) and force labor (rodi) on the inhabitants of their private estates.[4]

Among the most powerful gentry families in Bekasi was the Khouw family of Tamboen (Indonesian: keluarga Khouw van Tamboen).[5] They ruled their extensive landholdings from their country house, landhuis Tamboen (now Gedung Juang Tambun).
