History
The history of Setu Babakan dates to the early 1970s when the Indonesian government recognized the importance of preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Betawi people. The area, originally a lake, was transformed into a cultural village to showcase and preserve the traditions, arts, and customs of the Betawi community.
The term "Setu Babakan" translates to "Babakan Lake" in Indonesian, referring to the artificial lake created in the area. The lake itself holds historical significance as it was traditionally used by the Betawi people for fishing and irrigation purposes.
