Bogor

Town in western Java, Indonesia, 58 km/36 mi south of Jakarta; population (1995 est) 285,000. It is part of the Jabotabak area, a centre of industrial development based on textiles, electronics, and food processing. The city is also a popular summer resort and a centre for trade in the products of the surrounding region, including coffee, tea, rubber, sugar cane, and spices.

The city was founded by the Dutch in 1745 and is an important centre of higher education, with the University of Bogor (1958), the faculty of agriculture of the University of Indonesia, and the Kebun Raya botanical gardens (87 ha/215 acres, founded in 1817 by British colonial administrator Stamford Raffles) which are a major research centre. It is also the site of the Indonesian General Agricultural Research Station, the army intelligence school, hot springs, and the presidential summer palace.

Bogor has a very heavy wet season (4,060 mm/160 in per year) and frequent thunderstorms (300 days of the year).
