Pada 1709 di kawasan itu mulai pula bermukim orang-orang Bali di bawah pimpinan Gusti Ketut Badulu, yang permukimannya berseberangan dengan permukiman orang-orang Bugis, disebelah utara Bacherachtsgracht atau Jalan Pangeran Tubagus Angke sekarang. Perkampungan itu dulu dikenal dengan sebutan Kampung Gusti.

There was an old mosque there which was built on 26 Sya'ban 1174 or 2 April 1761. In the front yard of the mosque, there’s cemetery; Prince Syarif Hamid’s Cemetery from Pontianak which is his biography was written in the Javabode newspaper on July 17, 1858. In this era, that mosque also known as Al-Anwar Mosque or Angke Mosque.



Maybe that's all from me, lel. In section "Meester Cornelis" the image is Meester Cornelis Senen not Jatinergara, but Jatinegara and Senen is pretty near so it's okay. In section Java Bode Newspaper, i just took it from Google randomly, it just and illustration from that newspaper. I am sorry, i can't find Prince Syarif Hamid (picture not the cemetery) and Gusti Ketut Badulu's picture. I am afraid to took it wrong. I hope your knowledge about the history of the name in Jakarta is increase now. SEE YA <3
