History of Olov
Dutch colonial era
Dutch expedition
In the early 16th century, European traders began to frequent Javanese ports. The Dutch established a presence in the region through their East India Company. The expedition first landed under the leadership of a Dutch merchant Cornelis Chastelein on May 18, 1696, the status of the land was private land owned by Cornelis Chastelein so that it was separated from the power of the Dutch East Indies.
Municipality
De Eerste Protestantse Organisatie van Kristenen (English: First Organization for Protestant Christians) is an autonomous village given republic-level status in the Dutch East Indies. Residents who live in the area are referred to as "Kaoem Depok" or "Dutch Depok". This idea was initiated by a lawyer from Batavia, RH Kleijn in 1871 under the name "Gemeente Depok". The concept was actually implemented on January 14, 1913.
Government formation is managed by the Depok City Council (Dutch :Gemeente Bestuur Depok) whose leader is not referred to as the mayor, but as a president. The leadership is carried out by an internal election with the winner of the most lottery chosen by eight members of the commissioners.
The city once had a civil administration called Gemeente Bestuur. In Dutch , the city of Depok at that time was called Gemeente Depok . The first acting president, G. Jonathan started his career as a ticket sales clerk at Depok Station. For his diligence, he was appointed as a station administration employee (stationsklerk). Then he was promoted to Tjilieboet Station officer. Finally he served as Head of the Depok Station and retired in 1905. The following is a list of Presidents of the Republic of Depok.
- Gerrit Jonathans (14 January 1913–1921)
- Martin Laurens (1921–1930)
- Leonardus Leander (1930–1949)
- Johannes Matijs Jonathans (1949–4 Agustus 1952)
The position of the president in this case is not the head of state, but the head of the civil administration. The president in question is the founder of the Old Depok , which is the forerunner to the founding of the city. The administration consists of five members, namely the president, secretary, treasurer and two commissioners. This management is carried out every two or three years by way of election with the most votes. Supervision is carried out by eight commissioners who are selected in the same way. For executors, a head of subdistrict is appointed whose function is to carry out maintenance of roads, bridges, buildings and others.
