Most of Bandung Regency is mountainous. Among its peaks are: To the north is Mount Bukit Tunggul (2,200 m), Mount Tangkubanperahu (2,076 m) on the border with Purwakarta Regency. (both are now included in the West Bandung Regency). While to the south are Mount Patuha (2,334 m), Mount Malabar (2,321 m), as well as Mount Papandayan (2,262 m) and Mount Guntur (2,249 m), all on the border with Garut Regency and Cianjur Regency. Meanwhile, the northern region (bordering Bandung City) is a lowland that is often a flood-prone area, found in the districts of Dayeuhkolot, Baleendah, Bojongsoang, Rancaekek and Cileunyi.
Bandung Regency was established through a charter from Sultan Agung of Mataram on the 9th of Muharram in the year Alif, corresponding to Saturday, April 20, 1641 AD. Its first regent was Tumenggung Wiraangunangun (1641–1681 AD). This historical evidence established April 20 as the anniversary of Bandung Regency. The regent's position was later replaced by Tumenggung Nyili, one of his sons. However, Nyili did not hold the position for long, as he followed the Sultan of Banten. The regent's position was then succeeded by Tumenggung Ardikusumah, a member of the Tenjolaya (Timbanganten) court from 1681–1704.
Furthermore, the position of Regent of Bandung Regency from R. Ardikusumah was handed over to his son R. Ardisuta who was appointed in 1704 after the Dutch East Indies Government held a meeting with the regents of Priangan in Cirebon. R. Ardisuta (1704-1747) was known as Tumenggung Anggadiredja I after his death he was often called Dalem Gordah. As his successor was appointed his eldest son Demang Hatapradja who was titled Anggadiredja II (1707-1747).
During the reign of Anggadiredja III (1763-1794), Bandung Regency was united with Timbanganten, and in 1786, he even included Batulayang in his administration. It was also during the reign of Adipati Wiranatakusumah II (1794-1829) that the capital of Bandung Regency was moved from Karapyak (Dayeuhkolot) to the banks of the Cikapundung River, or the current Bandung City Square. The relocation of the capital was based on an order from the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, Daendels, on May 25, 1810, with the reason that the new area was considered to offer better prospects for the development of the region.
After the head of government was held by Regent Wiranatakusumah IV (1846-1874), the capital of Bandung Regency developed rapidly and he was known as a progressive regent. He was the one who laid the foundationsmaster planBandung Regency, known as Negorij Bandoeng. In 1850, he established the Bandung Regency hall and the Grand Mosque. He then initiated the construction of the Raja School (Teacher Education) and established a school for the nobility (Opleiding School Voor Indische Ambtenaaren). For his services in developing Bandung Regency in all fields, he received an award from the Dutch East Indies government in the form of a Bintang Jasa (Service Star), leading the community to nickname him Dalem Bintang.
During the reign of R. Adipati Kusumahdilaga, the railway began to be built, precisely on May 17, 1884. With the arrival of this railway, the capital city of Bandung became increasingly crowded. Its residents were not only natives, Europeans and Chinese also began to settle in the capital, the impact of which was the economy of Bandung City increasingly advanced. After his death, his successor was appointed R.A.A. Martanegara, this regent was also known as an excellent city planner. Martanegara was also considered capable of mobilizing his people to actively participate in organizing slum areas into comfortable settlements. During the reign of R.A.A. Martanegara (1893-1918) or precisely on February 21, 1906, the City of Bandung as the capital of Bandung Regency changed its status to Gementee (Municipality).
The next period of Bandung Regent was held by Aria Wiranatakoesoema V (Dalem Haji) who served for 2 periods, the first in 1920-1931 as the 12th regent and the next in 1935-1945 as the 14th regent. In the period 1931-1935 R.T. Sumadipradja served as the 13th Regent. Next the 15th regent was R.T.E. Suriaputra (1945-1947) and his replacement was R.T.M. Wiranatakusumah VI alias Aom Male (1948-1956), then replaced by R. Apandi Wiriadipura as the 17th regent who served only 1 year (1956-1957).
The next regent was Lieutenant Colonel R. Memet Ardiwilaga (1960-1967). Then during the transition period (Old Order to New Order) it was continued by Colonel Masturi. During the leadership of Colonel R.H. Lily Sumantri, an important event was recorded, namely the plan to move the capital of Bandung Regency from Bandung City to the Legal Area of Bandung Regency, namely the Baleendah area. The first stone was laid on April 20, 1974, which was the 333rd Anniversary of Bandung Regency. The plan to move the capital continued until the position of regent was held by Colonel R. Sani Lupias Abdurachman (1980-1985).
Due to physical geographical considerations, the Baleendah area was not suitable to be used as the district capital, so when the position of regent was held by Colonel H.D. Cherman Affendi (1985-1990), the capital of Bandung Regency moved to a new location, namely Soreang District. On the edge of Jalan Raya Soreang, precisely in Pamekaran Village, the Bandung Regency Government Center was built on an area of 24 hectares, featuring typical Priangan style architecture. The construction of the office which was not yet fully completed was continued by the next regent, Colonel H.U. Djatipermana, so that the construction took time from 1990 to 1992.
On December 5, 2000, Colonel H. Obar Sobarna, S.I.P. was elected by the Bandung Regency DPRD as Regent of Bandung, accompanied by Drs. H. Eliyadi Agraraharja as Deputy Regent. Since then, Soreang has truly functioned as the center of government. In 2003, all regional officials, except the Public Works Department, the Transportation Department, the Sanitation Department, the BLKD Office, and the Education and Training Office, officially had their offices in the Bandung Regency office complex. During Obar Sobarna's administration, the first thing to be built was the Sports Stadium, namely the Si Jalak Harupat Stadium. This stadium is an international standard stadium that is the pride of the people of Bandung Regency. In addition, based on the aspirations of the people strengthened by Law Number 22 of 1999, the Administrative City of Cimahi changed its status to an autonomous city.
On December 5, 2005, Obar Sobarna served as Regent of Bandung for the second time, accompanied by H. Yadi Srimulyadi as Deputy Regent, through a direct election process. In this second term of government, based on the dynamics of society and supported by the results of research and studies from 5 universities, West Bandung Regency was legally formed along with the issuance of Law Number 12 of 2007 concerning the Establishment of West Bandung Regency in West Java Province. The capital of West Bandung Regency is located in Ngamprah District). The Regent of West Bandung for the 2008-2013 term was Abubakar.[3]
