Pondok Ranggon (Sundanese: ᮕᮧᮔ᮪ᮓᮧᮊ᮪ ᮛᮃᮀᮌᮧᮔ᮪, romanized: Pondok Ranggon) is a administrative village (kelurahan) located in Cipayung, East Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia. This administrative village has a population of 35,248 people (2024) and an total area of 3.6 km², is at an altitude of 55 to 91 meters above sea level and is the highest place in Jakarta.

History

Based on folk tales passed down by the Pondok Ranggon elders, in the beginning there was an old man (Sundanese: aki) — who lived in a place which is now Pondok Ranggon — with an old woman (Sundanese: nini) whom he found in that place without going through marriage. Sundanese people call the life of these two parents rangon, because they live in a hut, so the community calls the place "Pondok Rangon" or "Pondok Ranggon".[3]

Geography

Pondok Ranggon is bordered by the Indonesian National Armed Forces headquarters to the north, Cilangkap and Munjul to the west, Jatiraden (Bekasi; bordered by Sunter River) to the east, and Harjamukti (Depok) to the south. Therefore, Pondok Ranggon is an area with strategic value, because it is directly connected to the alternative crossing route from Cileungsi (Bogor), Kranggan (Bekasi), dan Harjamukti (Depok).

Demographics

Language and culture

The original inhabitants of Pondok Ranggon were originally Sundanese people. This is based on folk tales told by the local elders. Over time, this area was also inhabited by the Betawi people, which resulted in the customs and culture of the Pondok Ranggon residents being a mixture of the two.[4] Pondok Ranggon is one of the few administrative village in Jakarta where the native population still uses Sundanese language as their daily language,[5] another administrative village is Jatinegara Kaum whose residents speak Banten Sundanese dialect.[6] In contrast to Jatinegara Kaum, the native population of Pondok Ranggon speak Bogor Sundanese dialect.[5]
