Central Java Province was juridically established in december 1929 and was effective on 1st January 1930. The formation of Central Java Province was aimed especially to support decentralization process, because in the first quarter of the 20th century the central government in Batavia had no more capability of handling all of its regions’ problems in Indonesia, and to endorse the political will of the liberal group to fasilitate their political interests and businesses. Keywords: Desentralisasi, Propinsi Jawa Tengah.
