Bogor, kota (city), West Java (Jawa Barat) propinsi (or provinsi; province), Indonesia. It lies at an elevation of 870 feet (265 metres) above sea level in the foothills of Mounts Gede and Salak Satu, about 25 miles (40 km) south of Jakarta. The city, established by the Dutch in 1745, is famous for its botanical gardens (1817), which cover 215 acres (87 hectares). Bogor Agricultural University was founded in 1963. There are also research institutes for veterinary science, animal sciences, and food crops. The former residence (1856) of the Dutch governor-general—now Bogor Palace—is one of the occasional residences of the Indonesian president. Bogor is primarily a residential city, with a healthful climate. There is some manufacturing, however, most notably of transportation equipment and other machinery; processed foods and beverages; metal, wood, and paper products; and chemicals. Among the principal crops of the surrounding area are rice, corn (maize), cassava, taro, sweet potatoes, and peanuts (groundnuts). Pop. (2010) 950,334.
