In the mid 16th  century , the area around the port of Sunda Kelapa named Djajakarta was part of the Sultan of Demak kingdom . At the end of the 16th  century when the Dutch begun to explore the world and find its way to the east to find spices, Djajakarta then fell into the hands of the Netherlands ( 1619 ) and used as the basis for a trading company owned by the Dutch VOC ( Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie ). Djajakarta successfully conquered by the Netherlands under the leadership of Jan Pieterscoon Coen, in which the city was destroyed and  rebuilt a new city called Batavia .

In the 1800s the VOC went bankrupt and was taken over by the Dutch government. At this time Batavia was already overcrowded therefore the Dutch started to build and expand Batavia to the south , and because of its beauty and technological advancement of Batavia at the time, the city became famous and earned the nickname " Queen of the East ".

This area was known as a '' Pantjoran '' because there was a reservoir used to store water from Ciliwung river. The reservoir was more than three meters high and have several bamboo showers and the water was then routed using clay pipe to City Hall ( Stadhuis ), which is now History Museum of Jakarta. The water flow was then passed down to the Sunda Kelapa harbor for ships that will sail to the Netherlands and the Moluccas in search of spices .
