Karawang District history

Around the XV century AD, Islam entered into Karawang brought by major scholars Sheikh Yusuf bin Hasanudin Idofi of Champa are known as Sheikh Quro. At that time most of the Karawang area is still a jungle and marshy.
The existence of Karawang area which has been known since the Kingdom Pajajaran Region based in Bogor, because Karawang at that time was the traffic lane which is very important to link the Kingdom Pakuan Pajajaran with Galuh Pakuan Region based in Ciamis.
Karawang District Area at the time, does not equal the total area Karawang regency in the present. At that time the total area Karawang regency covers Bekasi, Purwakarta, Subang and Karawang own.
After Pajajaran Kingdom collapsed in 1579 AD, established in 1580 AD as the successor to the Kingdom of the Kingdom Sumedanglarang Pajajaran with its King King Geusan Ulun. Islamic Kingdom Sumedanglarang Dayeuhluhur with central administration, in charge of Sumedang, Galuh, Limbangan, Sukakerta and Karawang.

In 1608 King Geusan Ulun died and was succeeded by his son Ranggagempol Kusumahdinata. At that time in Central Java has established the kingdom of Mataram by its King Sultan Agung (1613-1645). One of the ideals of his reign of Sultan Agung on the island of Java is that it can control and drove out of the Company (the Netherlands) from Batavia.
Ranggagempol Kusumahdinata as King Sumendanglarang still have family ties with Sultan Agung and recognize the power of Mataram. So in the Year 1620, Ranggagempol Kusumahdinata facing Sumedanglarang kingdom of Mataram and submit under the auspices of the kingdom of Mataram.
Ranggagempol Kusumahdinata by Sultan Agung was appointed Regent (Wadana) for soil with Sunda's borders eastward Cipamali River (kali cipamali), adjacent to West Cisadane River(kali cisadane), adjacent to North Java Sea, and South on the South Sea.
In the Year 1624 Ranggagempol Kusumahdinata died, and as the successor of Sultan Agung lift Ranggagede, Son of King Geusan Ulun.
Ranggagempol II, son Ranggagempol Kusumahdinata that should receive the royal throne, felt excluded and hurt. Then he went to the Sultan of Banten to ask for help to conquer the kingdom of Banten for Sumedanglarang with rewards if successful, the entire area of authority Sumedanglarang will be submitted to Banten.

Since then, many soldiers are sent to Karawang Banten especially along the Citarum River, under the leadership of Sultan of Banten, not only to meet the demand Ranggagempol II, but an initial attempt to master Karawang Banten in preparation retake the port of Banten, which was occupied by the VOC (Dutch) , namely the port of Sunda Kelapa.
The entry of troops into Karawang Banten news has come to Mataram. In the year 1624, Sultan Agung sent Surengrono (Aria Wirasaba) of Mojo Supreme, East Java to go to Karawang with a carry 1000 soldiers with their families, from Mataram through Banyumas in order to free from the influence of Banten, Karawang, preparing the logistics to build warehouses of rice and examine a route to Batavia Mataram.
The initial steps are to establish Surengrono Aria 3 (three), Village of Waringinpitu (Telukjambe), Village Parakansapi (in sub district Pangkalan which is now submerged Jatiluhur) and Village Adiarsa (Now included in the Karawang regency West), with a central force in place Waringinpitu Village.
Because of distance and difficulty of the relationship between Karawang with Mataram, Aria Wirasaba not had time to report the tasks being carried out to the Sultan Agung. This situation makes the Sultan Agung had the notion that the task given to the Aria Wirasaba failed implemented .
For the sake of maintaining the safety area of the Mataram kingdom of west , in 1628 and 1629, troops commanded by Sultan Agung of Mataram kingdom to conduct attacks on the VOC (the Netherlands) in Batavia. However, this attack failed due to circumstances which are very heavy terrain. Sultan Agung then set the Karawang area as a logistics center that should have a self-government and directly under the supervision of Mataram and should be led by a leader who is capable and skilled war so as to mobilize the community to build the paddies to support the procurement of logistics in planning the attack back to the VOC (Dutch ) In Batavia.
In the years 1632, Sultan Agung Sari Galuh Wiraperbangsa sent back by bringing 1000 soldiers with their families towards Karawang. Purpose forces led by Wiraperbangsa is, freed Karawang from the influence of Banten, prepare logistics as material preparation to attack VOC (Dutch) at Batavia, as well as task assigned to the Aria Wirasaba which is considered a failure.
Tasks are given to Wiraperbangsa can be performed well and the results are directly reported to the Sultan Agung. For its success Wiraperbangsa by Sultan Agung was awarded the title Wedana (Regents level) in Karawang and was given the title Duke of Kertabumi III, and was rewarded with a keris called "Karosinjang".
After giving the degree done in the Mataram, Wiraperbangsa intends to soon return to Karawang, but before he stopped at first to see his family .has become a destiny god he died when he in Galuh
Once Wiraperbangsa Died, the Regent in Karawang replaced by his son named Raden Singaperbangsa with the title of Duke of Kertabumi IV who ruled in the year 1633-1677.
In XVII century the largest kingdom in Java was Mataram, the famous king of Sultan Agung Hanyokrokusumo. He did not want the archipelago occupied or colonized by another nation and want to unite the archipelago.
In an effort to expel the VOC that has been take control power in Batavia, Sultan Agung prepare themselves by first mastering the Karawang region, to serve as a base or base of the struggle in attack VOC.
Ranggagede diperintahnya to prepare the army / soldier and with the open of agricultural lands, which later developed into a rice granary .
Date 14 September 1633 AD, coincided with the 10th Maulud 1043 Hijri, Sultan Agung Singaperbangsa inaugurated as the first Regent Karawang, so the tradition each December 10 is celebrated as the Day Maulud Karawang regency.
