Thousand Island which forms part and parcel of the archipelago, precisely located in the Bay of Jakarta. In the hundreds of years ago, the coral islands begin to form upon colonies of dead coral in the Bay of Jakarta. These colonies grow on the shallow sea floor, and the upper layer of the sea surface due to weathering of the rock. Then on top of the weathered rock land began to grow several species of trees so that the land be covered with sand that we now know as the Thousand Islands.
The historical record is the oldest in the Thousand Islands in the form of Dutch heritage inscription from the 16th century, which is precisely in the island Onrust. But in fact the Portuguese first came to Sunda coconut (port in Jakarta) prior to Holland, which is precisely in 1513 at which time the city of Jakarta is still included in the territory of the Kingdom of Sunda Padjadjaran. But somehow, the Portuguese when it does not leave tracks in the Thousand Islands. In addition to the inscription relics, there is also a historical heritage in the form of building fortifications in Kelor Island, Angel Island and also Onrust that until now we can still see in the three islands. And also for we all know, that in the 17th century, a map made in the Netherlands already indicate the islands around the island Baked has been uninhabited.
