Cianjur Regency in West Java between Sukabumi Regency and West Bandung Regency.

Cianjur is a city in the West Java province of Indonesia, the capital of Cianjur Regency. Cianjur is located in the middle of the main road between Jakarta (120 km in the northwest) and Bandung (60 km to the east). The population is about 146,874[citation needed]. Because of its location, some of Cianjur's residents commute to work either in Bandung or in Jakarta.

Cianjur was founded in 1677, with the first head of the city being R.A Wiratanudatar I, entitled Dalem Cikundul, as the descendant from the old Sundanese kingdom of Pajajaran.

The city mainly produces agricultural products, especially rice, and it has been known as the major source of rice production for the heavily populated Java island.

More than 75 people were killed in the earthquake of 2 September 2009.
