Jakarta Overview

Once the colonial hub of the Dutch East India Company, Jakarta is now the capital of Indonesia, and the main gateway into the country. Throughout its long history, Jakarta has known many different names and conquerors, including the French, British, Dutch, and even the Imperial Japanese. Today, Jakarta is the most populous city in Southeast Asia, and among the world's largest cities. Sprawling and chaotic, Jakarta has seen rampant development and is one of Asia's fastest growing economies.
