Pulo Gadung is an administrative district (kecamatan) of the administrative city East Jakarta, Indonesia and situated on the northern edge of the city. It covers an area of 4.88 km2 (1,206 acres), and is bounded by Kelapa Gading District of North Jakarta to the north, Cakung District to the east, Jatinegara District and Duren Sawit District to the south, and Matraman District and Cempaka Putih District of Central Jakarta to the west.

The district is currently divided into seven administrative villages. As of 2024, Pulo Gadung had an area of 15.55 km2 and a population of 309,037 (comprising 153,755 males and 155,282 females); giving a population density of 20,733 people per km2 (53,712 people per sq mi). Known for its industrial areas and bustling inter-city terminal, Pulo Gadung is a significant economic hub within East Jakarta.

History

A Dutch East India Company record from 1675 first mentioned this area, with its earliest spelling Poelo Gadongh, as plantation land managed by a Javanese man named Soeta Annem. In 1790, this plantation land was owned by Martinus Jacobus Balje, a landowner and member of the Batavia city council, who held a market there every Friday. During Governor-General Daendels' administration (1808-1811), a well-maintained road passable by carriages already ran through this area, connecting Tjilintjing (now Cilincing District) to Meester Cornelis (now Jatinegara District).

After Indonesia's independence, Pulo Gadung officially became a district based on Government Regulation No. 25 of 1978 concerning the formation of city and district territories within the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. The area was initially known for its production of various household furniture. Since the 1970s, the district developed significantly with many factories and an industrial estate, with an intercity bus terminal serving as its supporting infrastructure.

The name Pulo Gadung itself comes from the combination of the word pulo, meaning island or land by the river, and the word gadung (Dioscorea hispida), which refers to a type of yam that once grew abundantly in the area.
