Johar Baru is a district (Indonesian: kecamatan) in the administrative city of Central Jakarta, Indonesia. It is roughly bounded by Kampung Rawa Selatan Raya road and Mardani Raya road to the east, Percetakan Negara Raya Road to the south, Letjend Suprapto Road to the north, and a railway line to the west.
This was formerly part of Cempaka Putih which formed a neat south-eastern corner rectangle to the city centre. Thus at first, the latter was seven Administrative Villages: Cempaka Putih Timur, Cempaka Putih Barat, Galur, Tanah Tinggi, Kampung Rawa, Johor Baru, and Rawasari. In 1993, those of Galur, Tanah Tinggi, Kampung Rawa, and Johar Baru became Rahabayan Johar Baru.[1]
