Onder each district is lead by an assistant of Demang, while the District is lead by a Demang. While the superior of the District is   Onder Afdeling that lead by a Dutch Controleur.

The task of the assistant Demang is coordinating  Marga that lead by pesirah and in the execution of their duties aided by a Pembarap (vice of pesirah), a clerk and a messenger (Opas).

Japan times.
In the Japanese era Residente Lampoengsche Districten renamed by the Japanese into Lampung Syu. Syu Lampung is divided into 3 (three) Ken, namely:
·          
  1. Teluk Betung Ken
  2. Metro Ken
  3. Kotabumi Ken
Metro City area now, at that time including Metro ken into its Gun, Son, clans and villages. Ken lead by Kenco, the Gun lead by Gunco, Son lead by Sonco, the Clan lead by a Margaco, while the village is headed by the Kepala Kampung or the village head.


At the Age of Indonesia Merdeka.

After Indonesia's independence and the enactment of article 2 of the Transitional Regulations 1945, Metro Ken became the District of Central Lampung including City Metro therein. Based on the Decree of Lampung resident. No.153 / D/1952 dated 3 September 1952 which was updated on July 20, 1956 stipulated:
  •  Eliminating local clans in the Residency Lampung;
  •  Establish regional units in Lampung Keresidenen with the name "Country" as much as 36 states;
  • Property rights belong to the clan who abolished the country concerned.
With the removal of Marga state, the Government will be formed at the same time as the State Government. State government consists of a Head of State and Council of State, Head of State elected by the members of the Council of State and Heads of Villages. Metro State with the central government in the Metro (the Metro District).

In practice, the perceived lack of harmony between the government, this state complicate the implementation task and therefore the Governor of Lampung in 1972 made a policy decision for Government Affairs gradually removed, while the rights and obligations of the State Government transferred to the local district.

At the time of the Dutch Government Metro City is still a wilderness that is part of the territory Marga Nuban, who then opened by the colonization in 1936. In 1937 officially submitted by Marga Nuban and once inaugurated as Center Government of Onder District (district level).

At the time of Japanese rule onder district still recognized by the name of Sonco (caniat). At the time of execution of colonization in addition to the Metro is also formed district of Pekalongan onder, Batanghari, Sekampung and Trimurjo.

Onder Fifth District gets technical irrigation plan sourced from Way Sekampung that execution carried out by the colonizations that has been living in the cabin-beds (Bedeng) starting from first place Bedeng in Trimurjo  and 62th Bedeng in Sekampung, which later was named, for example Bedeng21, Yosodadi.

At the time of Japan's technical irrigation still continue because at the time the Dutch government has not been resolved.

And in the days of independence are still technical irrigation continued in accordance with the technical development is planned to present.

The actual name of the Metro City from the Java language "Mitro", which means friend (a gathering place for friendly people or make friends).

And according to the Dutch language "Meterm" which means the center (centrum) thus defined as a place that is strategically placed Mitro which means friend, it is against a background of colonization that came from various areas outside the region of Sumatra. At the time of independence a Metro City remains Metro. With the enactment of Article 2 of Regulation Transition Act of 1945, the Metro into districts lead by a regent in 1945, which at that time held the first Regent is Burhanuddin (1945-1948).

On the basis of Government Regulation no. 34 of 1986 dated August 14, 1986 Administrative City Metro was formed consisting of Kecamatan Metro Raya and Bantul that was inaugurated on September 9, 1987 by the Minister of the Internal Affairs.

Which in its development across five villages in the south of Way Sekampung or Wav Sekampung formed into one district, ie sub Metro Kibang and inserted into the additional area of Central Lampung Regent Sukadana region (now the entrance into the East Lampung regency). And in the same year formed the Regent Helper 2 areas namely Sukadana and Mount Sugih.

With the conditions and potentials, large enough and supported by adequate infrastructure and facilities, City of Metro grew rapidly as a center for commerce, education, culture and also the seat of government, then Naturally with the existing conditions and potential of the City of Metro upgraded to Municipality of Metro.

Hope to obtain regional autonomy occurred in 1999, with the formation of Metro City as an autonomous region under Law No. 12 of 1999 which was enacted April 20, 1999 and inaugurated on April 27, 1999 in Jakarta, together with the City of Dumai (Riau), City Cilegon, Kota Depok (West Java), Banjarbaru City (South Kalimantan) and Ternate (North Maluku).

Then based on the Law of Town Metro No. 25 of 2000 on Village Expansion and Districts in Metro, Metro City administrative region growth into 5 Districts covering 22 villages.

Trip to Metro Lampung



On Friday, 3rd week in November is our opportunity to visit the city of Metro Lampung. The following trip report we submit to you all.

We departed from Bekasi  after Friday prayers, using the Jakarta-Merak toll route through Slipi, Kebon Jeruk, Karang Tengah, that day the toll lane in heavy stuck and just after Karang Tengah the traffic start to smooth flow , we passing this distance is almost 2 hours.

Next, beginning from Karang Tengah, the smooth traffic flow relatively; but before Ciujung-Kragilan the road began to feel uncomfortable, but the effort is being continued improvement. The rest-area at this point is still minimal and not as good as Cipularang highway.

Up in Merak our vehicles have to cross using the Ferry. Luckily the queue is long, but can still be controlled with the order even though one or two vehicles tried to precede each other, bad habits passed-over our nation.

The crossing's cost is IDR 198,000; for vehicles included the passengers, regardless of the number of passengers; some reason the numbers are not rounded.

Loads of cargo was filled with private vehicles, passenger vehicles, buses and trucks.
For passengers who feel bored sitting in the car, seating is provided, there are paid and not paid bases. It is said that prices vary depending on each Ferry’s operator  and also the facilities provided.

 
Ferry that we use in the paid class is still bit pretty, the seat foam is still remains, in the class does not pay the type chair made of reinforced fiber-glass.

There is a television in side, which the pictures at any time can be lost with a modest explanation. The waves are not too large, but the Sunda Strait’s wind blew strong enough at the top deck , and were not comfortable for they are not used.

Maghrib pray we do onboard, there Qiblat directions for each position of the ship, a little confusing for those who are not familiar.
Arriving at Bakauheni, the weather was quite friendly, proceed on the ground of the island of Sumatra. The road is wide and smooth enough. Some km after Bakauheni large vehicles in the traffic lane pointed to the East because the West is no way that traffic is down for maintenance due to landslides, only small vehicles are allowed through this route.

Up in the City of Bandar Lampung, the traffic is quite noisy, especially in downtown. We had dinner near the campus Unila. Food prices can be spelled the same as Bekasi, but a large portion of almost 3 times.

The journey continues, leading to the North through the night. The road remains smooth. There asphalt overlay near Branti airfield , road wide enough and good.


Metro City is clean, quiet at night was not busy as Bandar Lampung. The shops were closed when we crossed it. The only one-two vehicles passed by us, the rest is quiet and dark because of rice field nor lading is on the left and right of us. 

After passing through the smooth asphalt roads, we start reaching the road that has been amplified but his condition was perforated here and there so we had to reduce speed if not wanted bouncing.


Indeed we must take this path because of the location we are heading a small village that has not shown on the map of Google, a small village near Punggur transmigration, which is named Srisawahan. We arrived at the location exactly at 00:00 midnight.

Indonesian Version:




Hari  Jum’at , minggu ke-3 di bulan  Nopember ini kami berkesempatan mengunjungi kota Metro Lampung. 
Berikut ini laporan perjalanannya kami sampaikan  untuk Anda semua.

Kami berangkat dari Bekasi bakda shalat Jum’at, menggunakan jalur toll Jakarta-Merak  melalui Slipi, Kebon Jeruk, Karang Tengah; ternyata hari itu jalur toll macet berat dan baru lancer selepas Karang Tengah, kami tempuh jarak ini hampir 2 jam.

Selanjutnya mulai dari Karang Tengah, traffic relatif lancar_tetapi jalan toll mulai terasa tidak nyaman menjelang Ciujung-Kragilan, tetapi usaha perbaikan nampaknya sedang terus diusahakan. Tempat rehat di jalur ini masih minim tidak sebanyak dan sebagus jalur  Cipularang.

Sampai di Merak kendaraan kami harus menyeberang menggunakan Ferry. Beruntung meskipun natrian cukup panjang, tetapi masih bisa dikendalikan dengan tertib walaupun satu-dua kendaraan berusaha saling mendahului, kebiasaan buruk berlalu-lintas bangsa kita.

Biaya penyeberangan ini IDR 198.000; untuk kendaraan dan penumpang, berapapun jumlah penumpangnya; entah kenapa angkanya tidak bulat.


Muatan kargo ternyata  dipenuhi kendaraan pribadi, kendaraan penumpang, bus dan truck.
Untuk penumpang yang merasa bosan duduk-duduk dalam mobil, disediakan tempat duduk, ada yang berbayar dan  tidak berbayar. Konon harganya berbeda-beda tergantung pada masing-masing operator Ferry dan juga pada fasilitas yang disediakan.

Ferry yang kami gunakan waktu berangkat di kelas berbayar masih lumayan kursi busanya masih banyak yang utuh, di kelas tidak berbayar jenis kursinya terbuat dari reinforced fiber-glass. Tersedia televisi yang gambarnya sewaktu-waktu bisa hilang dengan penjelasan sekedarnya. 

Ombak tidak terlalu besar, tetapi angin di Selat Sunda cukup kuat berhembus dan tidak nyaman ber lama-lama di atas deck bagi mereka yang tidak terbiasa.

Shalat Maghrib kami lakukan di atas Ferry, ada petunjuk arah Kiblat untuk setiap posisi kapal, sedikit membingungkan bagi mereka yang belum terbiasa.

Sesampainya di Bakauheni, cuaca cukup bersahabat, perjalanan dilanjutkan di atas tanah pulau Sumatera. 

Jalanan cukup mulus dan lebar. Beberapa KM selepas Bakauheni kendaraan besar di arahkan ke jalur lintas Timur karena di lintas Barat ada jalan yang sedang dalam perbaikan karena longsor, hanya kendaraan kecil saja yang diperbolehkan lewat jalur ini.

Sampai di Kota Bandar Lampung, traffic cukup ramai terutama di pusat kota. Kami makan malam di dekat Kampus Unila. Harga makanan bisa dibilang sama dengan Bekasi, tetapi besar porsinya hampir 3 kalinya.

Perjalanan masih terus berlanjut, menembus malam mengarah ke Utara. Jalan tetap mulus. Ada pelapisan ulang aspal menjelang lapangan terbang Branti, jalannya cukup lebar dan bagus.

Kota Metro cukup bersih, tenang di waktu malam tidak seramai Bandar Lampung. Toko-toko sudah tutup waktu kami melintasinya. Satu dua kendaraan berpapasan dengan kami, selebihnya adalah sepi dan gelap karena sawah dan atau lading berada di sisi kiri dan kanan kami. 

Setelah melewati jalan-jalan aspal mulus, kami mulai merambah jalan yang sudah diperkeras tapi kondisinya sudah berlubang di sana-sini sehingga kami harus mengurangi kecepatan bila tidak ingin terpental-pental.

Memang kami harus menempuh jalur ini karena lokasi yang kami tuju sebuah dusun yang belum tertera dipeta Google, sebuah dusun transmigrasi dekat Punggur, yang bernama Srisawahan. Kami tiba di lokasi persis tengah malam jam 00:00.
