Koedoes Residency

Koedoes Residency (Dutch: Residentie Koedoes) was an administrative division (Residency) of Central Java province of the Dutch East Indies with its capital at Kudus, which existed between 1928 and 1931.

[3] Mataram were then forced to concede it to the Dutch; during the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, the area of Koedoes Residency had been a part of Semarang Residency.

However, it took time to implement and was not put in place in Central Java province (Provincie Midden-Java) until 1928.

[4][1] At that point, a new Koedoes Residency was created with its capital in Kudus, consisting of roughly one third of the former Semarang Residency, including the Koedoes, Demak, and Japara regencies, with a total size of roughly 2700 square kilometres.

[4][7][8] The Residency was used as a division in the 1930 Dutch East Indies census; its population was estimated to have been 1,027,786.
