History


During the colonial era, Kebayoran was a kawedanan (an administrative area below a Regency, but above a District), headed by a wedana. The Kawedanan of Kebayoran was part of the regency of Meester Cornelis, whose area also included Ciputat.
Around 1938, an airport was planned in the area by the government of Dutch East Indies, but was cancelled because of World War II. This undeveloped area was later, after the independence period, developed into the district of Kebayoran Baru, while the rest of the area becomes the district of Kebayoran Lama.
In 1990, part of the district of Kebayoran Lama was split to form the district of Pesanggrahan.
