INSIGHT HARBOR - Pinang is one of the districts that is growing rapidly with the development of the city's economy and infrastructure. In line with the development activities of Tangerang City, Pinang continues to beautify itself. Pinang District is the gateway to Tangerang City in the south through the Jakarta Merak toll exit access to the largest mall in Tangerang City, Alam Sutra Mall. The mall has transformed one of its villages, Kampung Kosong and Kampung Kelapa into sparkling, like a metropolitan city.
Pinang District
has an area of 21,590 km2 with a population of 133,361 people in 2009 spread
across 11 sub-districts, 75 RW, and 432 RT. The sub-districts included in
Pinang District are as follows: Pinang, Sudimara Pinang, Neroktog, Kunciran,
Kunciran Indah, Kunciran Jaya, Cipete, Pakojan, Panunggangan, North
Panunggangan and East Panunggangan.
The origin of the
name Pinang as the name of the sub-district is due to geographical reasons that
Pinang is flanked by two sub-districts, namely Ciledug and Cipondoh. The
following is an explanation from Maryono (41 years old):
“Of
the 11 (eleven) sub-districts in Pinang District, the one that was used as the
name is Pinang. Because before the expansion, Pinangka entered Cipondoh. If
divided in the middle between Cipondoh and Ciledug, then the middle is Pinang.
Pinang entered here with 11 sub-districts so remembering it there, seeing the
geographical location between Cipondoh and Ciledug. Well, to make it easier,
the name Pinang was taken. The sub-district heads who hold the position of
sub-district head in Pinang sub-district are: (1) Drs. H. Toto Sabianto (2) H.
Asikin Wirayuda, SH (3) Drs. H. Syahrudin, (4) Drs. Engkos Zarkasih (5) H.
Maryono, SAP, M.Si”4
Thus it is clear
that the origin of Pinang sub-district is because Pinang's geographical
location is in the middle between Cipondoh and Ciledug. Pinang is the closest
area to both Ciledug and Cipondoh when compared to other sub-districts, such as
Kunciran Jaya or Panunggangan. Pinang is also better known for those who cross
the provincial road from Kebayoran Lama to Tangerang City. While according to
the mandate of the law, namely Regional Regulation Number 16 of 2000, the
position of the District Office is in Kunciran Jaya Village.
