East Java (Indonesian: Jawa Timur, Javanese: ꦙꦮꦶꦮꦺꦠꦤ꧀, romanized: Jawa Wétan, Madurese:
Jhâbâ Tèmor) is a province of Indonesia located in the easternmost third of Java island. It has a
land border only with the province of Central Java to the west; the Java Sea and the Indian Ocean
border its northern and southern coasts, respectively, while the narrow Bali Strait to the east
separates Java from Bali by around 2.29 kilometres (1.42 mi). Located in eastern Java, the
province also includes the island of Madura (which is connected to Java by the longest bridge in
Indonesia, the Suramadu Bridge), as well as the Kangean islands and other smaller island groups
located further east (in the northern Bali Sea) and the Masalembu archipelago to the north. Its
capital is Surabaya, the second largest city in Indonesia, a major industrial center and also a
major business center. Banyuwangi is the largest regency in East Java and the largest on the
island of Java.[7]
The province covers an area of 48,036.84 square kilometres (18,547.13 sq mi), and according to
the 2010 Census, there were 37,476,757 people residing there,[8] making it Indonesia's second-
most-populous province; the 2020 Census showed an increase to 40,665,696 people,[9] while the
official estimate for mid 2023 was 41,527,930 (comprising 20,711,680 males and 20,816,260
females).[1] Almost a quarter of the population lives inside greater Surabaya metropolitan
area.[10] East Java is inhabited by many different ethnic groups, such as the Javanese, Madurese
and Chinese. Most of the people in East Java adheres to Islam, forming around 94% of the total
population. Other religions are also practiced, such as Christianity, Buddhism and Confucianism
which are mostly practised by Tionghoa people and immigrants from Eastern Indonesia and
North Sumatra, and also Hinduism which are practised by the Tenggerese people in the Bromo
Tengger Semeru National Park and the Balinese people inhabiting the easternmost part of the
province bordering Bali as well as the dominant minority Indian Indonesians in Surabaya city.
The Indonesian language is the official language of the province as well as the whole nation, but
Javanese and Madurese are most frequently used, especially the Surabaya dialect (Javanese:
Suroboyoan or Surabayaan — the Javanese dialect of Surabaya) used mainly in the capital
Surabaya. Indonesian is only used for inter-ethnic communication and official purposes.
East Java offers different types of tourist attractions. There are a variety of natural attractions,
including mountains, beaches, caves, and waterfalls. Almost every regency or city in East Java
has its own unique tourist destinations, such as the Ijen volcano in Banyuwangi, Baluran National
Park in Situbondo, and Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in Malang, Pasuruan, Lumajang,
and Probolinggo.

Islamic era
The precise date when Islam entered Java remains unclear. This is due to the absence of a
definite source regarding the arrival of Islam in Java. However, according to some experts, it is
estimated that Islam entered Java around the 11th century, with the tomb of Fatimah Binti
Maimun in the village of Leran in Gresik Regency which dates from 475 AH (1085 AD). The tomb
also shows that by the 11th century, the North coast of Java had been frequented by Arab traders
from the Middle East. In addition, several Islamic tombs were discovered in Trowulan, located in
what is now part of the Mojokerto Regency, near the site of the former Majapahit palace.[16]
In the 15th century, a Chinese Hui voyager named Ma Huan visited East Java. He then wrote the
book Yingya Shenglan, which tells the story of the countries he visited over the course of the
Ming treasure voyages. He mentioned that at that time, there were three different peoples
inhabiting Eastern Java: Arabs from the Middle East, the ancestor of the modern Arab
Indonesians; Chinese Muslims originating from modern-day Guangdong province, and the native
Javanese people.[17]
By the 16th century, the Majapahit Empire was defeated by Islamic kingdoms in Java, resulting in
the exile of many Majapahit aristocrats to the neighbouring island of Bali.[18] Those who
remained in Java were forced to convert to Islam, while a small pocket of isolated people living in
the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park spread around Pasuruan, Probolinggo, Malang, and
Lumajang Regencies remains adhered to Hinduism to this day. They are known as the
Tenggerese people. Their population of roughly 100,000 is centered in 30 villages in the isolated
Tengger mountains.[19]
When Islamic sultanates started ruling Java, cities in the northern coast started developing,
becoming thriving ports. One of them was the town of Tuban, which was a wealthy and important
port with many Chinese settlers. Being a port of the Majapahit and the point of departure for the
Moluccas, it exported an abundant supply of foodstuffs and imported a rich variety of products
from the Moluccas.[20] At the end of the 16th century, Islam had surpassed Hinduism and
Buddhism as the dominant religion in Java. At first, the spread of Islam was very rapid and was
accepted by ordinary people, until the da'wah entered and it was carried out by the rulers of the
island.
European colonization
The relationship between the Javanese and European colonial powers began in 1522, with the
signing of a treaty between the Sunda Kingdom and the Portuguese Empire in Malacca. After the
failure of the treaty, the Portuguese presence was then limited to Malacca in the Malay Peninsula
and the Maluku Islands. An expedition under the leadership of the Dutch explorer Cornelis de
Houtman consisting of four ships in 1596 became the beginning of Dutch presence in the
island.[21] At the end of the 18th century, the Dutch had succeeded in expanding their influence
on the Islamic sultanates in the interior of the island of Java.
At the onset of the Napoleonic Wars, the British conquered Java in 1811. Java briefly became
part of the British Empire, with Sir Stamford Raffles as its Governor-General. In 1814, Britain
returned Java to the Netherlands as stipulated in the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814.[22]
Japanese occupation and revolution
During the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, there was persistent resistance
against the Japanese rule. In Blitar, an uprising by Pembela Tanah Air (PETA) led by Supriyadi,
Moeradi, Halir Mangkudijoyo, and Soemarto occurred in early 1945, but it was crushed by the
Japanese.
Two weeks after the proclamation of independence, Surabaya established its own government
under, Raden Sudirman. The formation of government in Surabaya caused disputes between the
republican forces and Japanese troops, resulting in various skirmishes across the city. This was
because when the Japanese surrendered, they were obliged to remain in power until the allied
forces arrived. The arrival of allied forces in Surabaya created tensions with the newly
established government of Indonesia, reaching peak on 10 November 1945 where a major battle
between the Surabayan residents led by Sutomo and allied forces.
The battle forced the governor, Suryo, on the advice of People's Security Army (TKR), to move the
seat of the government to Mojokerto. A week later, the government retreated again to a more
secure location in Kediri. However, security situation Kediri worsen until finally, in February 1947,
the East Java provincial government fled to Malang. While the administration was based in
Malang, Governor Soerjo was replaced by R.P. Suroso, who was in turn replaced again by Dr.
Moerdjani. On 21 July 1947, although still bound by the Linggadjati Agreement, a ceasefire
agreement in effect since 14 October 1946, the Dutch commenced a military action, Operation
Product, which led to deteriorating security conditions in Malang. The East Java provincial
government moved again to Blitar.
This military action ended after the Renville Agreement. However, this agreement reduced the
territory controlled by the East Java provincial government. The Netherlands then turned the
areas under its control into new federal states, the State of Madura and the State of East Java.
Amid the difficulties faced by the government of Indonesia, a left-wing opposition group, Front
Demokrasi Rakyat (FDR, People's Democratic Front) launched rebellion in Madiun on 18
September 1948. However, eventually this revolt was defeated by the Indonesian Army. On 19
December 1948, the Dutch launched Operation Kraai. Blitar, the seat of the East Java provincial
government was attacked by the Dutch. Governor Moerdjani and his staff were forced to flee and
joined the guerrillas on the slopes of Mount Wilis. Operation Kraai ended after the Roem–Van
Roijen Agreement on 7 May 1949.
Following the Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference, at which the Netherlands agreed to
transfer sovereignty to the United States of Indonesia, the Dutch withdrew its troops from East
Java. East Java changed its status from a province into a state. However, on 25 February 1950,
this was dissolved and became part of the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. The State of
Madura also decided to join Indonesia.
Contemporary era
Along with rapid growth of urbanization in East Java, the governments could not satisfy the
population's needs for affordable housing, which led to the building of shanty towns along the
rivers and rail tracks. Today, the shanty towns still exist; although some have been transformed
into "better" housing.[23]
East Java has twice hosted the Indonesian National Games (Indonesian: Pekan Olahraga
Nasional) (PON), the 7th (1969) and 15th PONs (2000), and became the overall champions in
2000 and 2008.
Geography
East Java province borders the Java Sea in the north, the Strait of Bali in the east, and the Indian
Ocean in the south, as well as the Central Java province in the west. The length of the east–west
stretch of about 400 km. The width of the stretch of the north–south in the west about 200 km,
but in the eastern part of narrower by about 60 km. Madura is the largest island in East Java,
separated from the mainland Java by the Strait of Madura. Bawean Island is located about
150 km north of Java. In the east of Madura there are clusters of islands, the easternmost are
the Kangean Islands and the northernmost are the Masalembu Islands. Off the south coast of
Java there are two small islands namely Nusa Barong and Sempu Island.
Geology
In physiographic of geology, East Java Province can be grouped into three zones: the southern
zone (plato), the middle zone (volcanic), and the northern zone (folds). Lowlands and highlands
in the middle (of Ngawi, Blitar, Malang, to Bondowoso) has a fairly fertile soil. In the northern part
( Bojonegoro, Tuban, Gresik, to Madura Island) lies the Kapur Utara mountains and the Kendeng
mountains which are relatively barren.
In the middle of the province stretch mountain ranges and volcanoes: On the border with Central
Java is Mount Lawu (3,265 metres). Southeast from Madiun is Mount Wilis (2,169 metres), and
Mount Liman (2,563 metres). In the middle of the corridor lies the Anjasmoro mountains with
peaks Mount Arjuno (3,339 metres), Mount Welirang (3,156 metres), Mount Anjasmoro (2,277
metres), Mount Kawi (2,551 metres), and Mount Kelud (1,731 metres); The mountains are located
in most Kediri, Blitar, Malang, Pasuruan, Mojokerto and Jombang. The group has the peak of
Mount Bromo Tengger (2,329 metres), and Mount Semeru (3,676 metres). Mount Semeru, which
is also called Mahameru is the highest mountain in the island of Java. In the easternmost part if
the province, there are two groups of mountains: the Iyang mountains with the peak Mount
Argopuro (3,088 metres), the Ijen mountains with the peak Mount Raung (3344 metres) In the
south there is a series of hills, that of the south coast of Pacitan, Trenggalek, Tulungagung, Blitar,
Malang. the Kapur Selatan mountains is a continuation of a series of the Sewu mountains in
Yogyakarta.
Water
Two of the most important rivers in East Java are the Brantas River (290 kilometres), and the
Solo River (548 kilometers). The Brantas River has headwaters on the slopes Mount Arjuno near
Batu, and flows through most areas in East Java, like Malang, Blitar, Tulungagung, Kediri,
Jombang and Mojokerto. In Mojokerto, the Brantas River split into two: Kali Mas, and Porong;
both empty into the Madura Strait. The Solo River has headwaters on the slopes of Mount Lawu
which lies on the border between East Java and Central Java, and flows through a portion of the
eastern part of Central Java and East Java, which eventually empties into the sea at Gresik. The
Brantas River and Bengawan Solo are managed by Perum Jasa Tirta I. On the slopes of Mount
Lawu near the border with Central Java are Sarangan, a natural lake. The main dam in East Java,
among others Ir. Sutami and Selorejo Dam, which is used for irrigation, fish farming and tourism.
Climate
East Java has a tropical monsoon and savanna climate at lower elevation and subtropical at
higher elevation. Compared with the western part of Java Island, East Java in general has less
rainfall. Average rainfall is 1,900 mm per year, with a rainy season during the 100 days. The
average temperature ranges between 19–34 °C. Temperatures in the lower mountain areas, and
even in areas Ranu Pani (slopes of Mount Semeru), temperatures can reach –4 °C, causing a
frost and fall of light snow.[24]

Ethnic and linguistic composition
Besides the national language (Indonesian), the people of East Java predominantly use the
Javanese in daily life. Javanese as spoken in the western part of East Java (Kulonan) is a similar
dialect to the one spoken in Central Java, with its hierarchy of high, medium, and low registers. In
the eastern part, such as Surabaya, Malang, and others, a more egalitarian version of Javanese is
spoken, with less regard of hierarchy and a richer vocabulary for vulgarity. The dialect is notable
for its roughness compared to other dialects spoken elsewhere in Java (especially the Mataram
dialect spoken around Surakarta and Yogyakarta, which is renowned for its smoothness) and
contributes to the stereotype among Javanese people of East Javanese being "blunt" and
"loud".[29] Variants of Javanese are also used by Osing and Tengger minorities, the former
utilizing a Balinese-influenced Javanese by virtue of its closeness with Bali island, and the latter
speaking an archaic form of the language that retains many features now lost in other more-
innovative Javanese dialects.[30] Other than Javanese, minority language includes Madurese,
spoken by around 4 million ethnic Madurese people inhabiting the Madura Islands; though they
live practically next door with the Javanese, the language is actually more closer genetically to
Balinese, and Sundanese.[31]
Religion
A long time ago, Hinduism and Buddhism dominated the island until Islam gradually supplanted
Hinduism in the 14th and 15th century. The last nobles and people of the fallen Majapahit fled to
Bali. Islam spread from northern cities in Java where many Muslim traders from Gujarat, India
stopped by. The eastern part of East Java, from Surabaya to Pasuruan, and the cities along the
coast, and back to Banyuwangi to Jember, are known as the eastern salient, or "Kawasan Tapal
Kuda" (the Horseshoe Region).
A remnant of Hindu tradition and syncretic abangan exists because of Islamic and Hinduism
acculturation in Java.
East Java is known as the hub and center economy of Central and Eastern Indonesia,[33] and has
a high economic significance, which contributes over 15% to the Gross Domestic Product of
Indonesia.[34]
