Geography

Ciomas is located to the west of Cisadane (the Sadane River), with waterways like Cisindangbarang (the Sindangbarang River) and Cikarti (the Karti River) flowing through it. Its average elevation is 222 metres above sea level.

History

During the Dutch colonial period, this area was named Land Tjiomas after Tjiomas River that used to flow through it. In 1886, local farmers launched the Ciomas Peasant Rebellion (Indonesian: Pemberontakan Petani Ciomas) to revolt against landlords and the Dutch colonial government, culminating in the murder of the then Ciomas sub-district head, Haji Abdurrachim. The incident resulted in the death of about 40 people, and left 70 others injured.

Following the Independence of Indonesia, Ciomas became part of Buitenzorg Kawedanan (today's Bogor Regency). Until 1992, Ciomas remained as a district with 40 villages and an area of 100.85 square kilometres. However, from 1992 to 2001, Ciomas experienced reductions in its area and population due to three separate changes in its administrative boundaries:

• In 1992, 15 villages in the west of the district were transferred to form the new Dramaga District (kecamatan);
• In 1995, 6 villages in the east of the district were transferred to the city municipality of Bogor;
• In 2001, 8 villages in the south of the district were transferred to form the new Tamansari District (kecamatan).

Climate

Ciomas has a Tropical Rainforest Climate (Af). It sees the most amount of rainfall in November, with an average of 347 mm of precipitation; and the least amount of rainfall in August, with 104 mm of precipitation.
