Which island is the capital of Indonesia located?

Jakarta (formerly named Sunda Kelapa, Jayakarta and Batavia; officially the Special Capital Region of Jakarta) is the capital and most populous city of Indonesia. It is located on the northwest coast of the world's most populous island of Java.

Established in the fourth century, the city became an important trading port for the Kingdom of Sunda. It was the de facto capital of the Dutch East Indies (known as Batavia at that time). Today, the city has continued as the capital of Indonesia since the country's independence was declared in 1945. The city is currently the seat of the ASEAN Secretariat as well as important financial institutions such as the Bank of Indonesia, the Indonesia Stock Exchange, and the corporate headquarters of numerous Indonesian companies and multinational corporations. Jakarta's business opportunities, as well as its potential to offer a higher standard of living, attract migrants from all over Indonesia, making the city a melting pot of many communities and cultures.
