Any place or area has its own history behind them. No exception, Bandung. Founding Bandung Regency Bandung begins with the formation of the 17th century AD. From the beginning of the formation until 1681, Bandung regency led by Tumenggung Wiraangunangun.
At first, the capital of Bandung regency Krapyak, now named Dayeuhkolot (Old Town), approximately 11 kilometers to the South of downtown Bandung now. Between the years 1794-1829, Bandung regency headed by RA Wiranatakusumah II, nicknamed "The Dalem I". At that time, power in the archipelago switching from the Company to the Dutch East Indies government under the leadership of Governor General Herman Willem Daendels (1808-1811).
A major project was made by Daendels to support the duties in Java. Daendels build Post Road (Groote Postweg) along approximately 1000 km of Anyer on the western tip of West Java up to Panarukan at the east end of East Java. Highway construction was carried out by indigenous people under the leadership of regents of each region.
In the area of Bandung and Priangan, Highway heading began construction in mid-1808 to improve and widen the existing road. In the area of Bandung now, the highway that is Jalan Sudirman - Jalan Asia Afrika - Jalan A. Yani to continue to Sumedang and so on. To smooth roads, and that the easy colonial government officials visited the office of regent, Daendels then ask Bandung Regent and Regent Parakanmuncang to move the district capital, respectively to the area Cikapundung and Andawadak (Tanjungsari), approached the Post Road.
Daendels not know that before he made the request, regent of Bandung had planned to move the capital of Bandung regency, has even found a place that is quite good and strategic for the central government. The place chosen was vacant forested land located on the west bank of the River Cikapundung and adjacent to the Post Road, which is being built (downtown Bandung now). The reason was due to the transfer of the capital Krapyak not strategic as administrative capital because it is located on the south side area of Bandung and often flooded when the rainy season arrives.
In the era of 1808-1809, regent and a number of people started to move away from approaching land Krapyak the new capital. At first regent stay in Cikalintu (Cipaganti area), then moved to Balubur Downstream, then moved again to the village of Bogor (Kebon Kawung, on land Pakuan now).
