History

Sukmajaya was the easternmost district of Depok Administrative City, in which it was established on 18 March 1982, before the inclusion of Cimanggis District in 1999. The district was first inaugurated by the then Minister of Home Affairs, Lt. Gen. Amirmachmud. This was related to the inauguration of Depok as an Administrative City covering Beji District, Sukmajaya District, Pancoran Mas District, Sawangan District and Limo District.

Sukmajaya District Office is located at Jalan Merdeka Raya 1 Depok Dua Tengah.[7] Sukmajaya District was established on the basis of Depok City Local Regulation No. 08 of 2007 on District Expansion, which states that the Sukmajaya District is a part of the Depok City area.
