History of Surabaya city
Etymology
The word Surabaya (Old Javanese: Śūrabhaya) is often interpreted philosophically as a symbol of the struggle between land and water. In addition, from the word Surabaya also appears the myth of fighting between sura fish / suro (shark) and baya / boyo (crocodiles), which raises the allegation that the formation of the name "Surabaya" emerged after the battle.
The origin of Surabaya
Historical evidence indicates that Surabaya existed well before the colonial era, as stated in the Trowulan I inscription, dated 1358 AD In the inscription it was revealed that Surabaya (Churabhaya) is still a village on the banks of the Brantas river as well as one of the important crossings throughout the region Brantas river flow. Surabaya is also listed in the Kakawin Nagarakretagama pujasastra written by Empu Prapañca which tells about the journey of King Hayam Wuruk in 1365 AD in pupil XVII (the fifth stanza, the last line).
Although the oldest written evidence includes the name of Surabaya dates 1358 AD (Trowulan Inscription) and 1365 AD (Nagarakretagama), experts suspect that the Surabaya area existed before those years. In the opinion of the German German culturalist Von Faber, the Surabaya area was founded in 1275 AD by King Kertanegara as a new settlement for his soldiers who succeeded in crushing the Kemuruhan revolt in 1270 AD Another opinion says that Surabaya was once an area called Ujung Galuh.
Another version mentions, Surabaya comes from the story of a life-death fight between the Duke of Jayengrono and Sawunggaling. It is said that after defeating the Mongol Empire's envoy Kublai Khan or known as the Tartars, Raden Wijaya established a palace in Ujung Galuh area and placed Duke of Jayengrono to lead the area. Long time for mastering the science of crocodiles, Jayengrono increasingly strong and independent so threaten the sovereignty of Majapahit Kingdom. To conquer Jayengrono, then sent Sawunggaling who mastered sura science.
Adu kesaktian performed on the edge of Kali Mas, in the Peneleh region. The fight lasted seven days and seven nights and ended tragically, as both died after a loss of energy.
The name Śūrabhaya itself was confirmed as the official name in the 14th century by the ruler of Ujung Galuh, Arya Lêmbu Sora.
The pre-colonial era
The symbol of the city of Surabaya during the Dutch East Indies (1934).
Surabaya area was once the main gate to enter the capital of the Majapahit Kingdom from the ocean, ie at the Kali Mas estuary. Even the anniversary of Surabaya was established on 31 May 1293. The day was actually the victory of Majapahit troops led by Raden Wijaya against the Mongol attack. The Mongol troops coming from the sea are described as SURA (shark / brave) and Raden Wijaya troops coming from land are described as BAYA (crocodiles / hazards), so it is literally interpreted to dare to face the danger that comes threatening. So the day of victory is commemorated as the anniversary of Surabaya.
In the fifteenth century, Islam began to spread rapidly in the area of Surabaya. One of the members of Walisongo, Sunan Ampel, founded a mosque and a pesantren in the Ampel region. In 1530, Surabaya became part of the Demak Kingdom.
Following the demise of Demak, Surabaya became the target of the conquest of the Mataram Sultanate, invaded by Panembahan Senopati in 1598, was attacked by Panembahan Seda ing Krapyak in 1610, and was attacked by Sultan Agung in 1614. Brantas river flow by Sultan Agung finally forced Surabaya to surrender. A VOC article in 1620 describes Surabaya as a rich and powerful region. The length of its circle is about 5 mijlen Netherlands (about 37 km), surrounded by canals and reinforced cannon.That year, to fight against Mataram, its troops amounted to 30,000 soldiers
In 1675, Trunojoyo from Madura took Surabaya, but was eventually kicked out by the VOC in 1677.
In an agreement between Pakubuwono II and VOC on 11 November 1743, Surabaya was handed over to VOC. The administrative center of Surabaya is located in the western mouth of the Red Bridge. It was this bridge that restricted the European settlement (Europeesche Wijk) back then, which was to the west of the bridge with the Chinese settlement; Malay; Arab; and so forth (Vremde Oosterlingen), which is to the east of the bridge. Until the 1900s, downtown Surabaya only revolves around the Red Bridge alone.

Era of independence
The battle maintains Surabaya
After World War II ended, on October 25, 1945, 6,000 British-Indian troops were Brigade 49, 23rd Division led by Brig. Gen. Aulbertin Walter Sothern Mallaby landed in Surabaya with the main order disarming Japanese soldiers, soldiers and Indonesian militia. They are also in charge of taking care of former prisoners of war and returning Japanese troops. The Japanese army surrendered all of their weapons, but the militia and more than 20,000 Indonesian troops refused.
October 26, 1945, an agreement was reached between R.M. Soerjo, Governor of East Java with Brig. Gen. Mallaby that Indonesian troops and militia did not have to surrender their weapons. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding between the British troops in Surabaya with the headquarters of British troops in Jakarta led by Lieutenant General Philip Christison.
On October 27, 1945, at 11:00 noon, the British Air Force Dakota plane from Jakarta dropped a leaflet in Surabaya that ordered all Indonesian soldiers and militia to surrender weapons. Indonesian army and militia leaders became angry when reading this leaflet and assumed that Brigadier Mallaby did not keep the agreement on 26 October 1945.
October 28, 1945, Indonesian troops and militia attacked British troops in Surabaya. To avoid defeat in Surabaya, Brig. Gen. Mallaby requested that President Soekarno and the commander of British Division 23 troops, Major General Douglas Cyril Hawthorn, go to Surabaya and seek peace.
October 29, 1945, President Soekarno; Vice President Mohammad Hatta; and Minister of Information Amir Syarifuddin along with Major General Hawthorn went to Surabaya to negotiate.
At noon, October 30, 1945, an agreement was reached, signed by President Soekarno and Commander of the 23rd Division Major General Hawthorn. The contents of the agreement are a shoot-out stop and British troops will be withdrawn from Surabaya as soon as possible. Major General Hawthorn and the Indonesian leaders left Surabaya and returned to Jakarta.
On the afternoon of October 30, 1945, Brig. Gen. Mallaby traveled to British troops in Surabaya to inform him of the agreement. As it approached the British troop post at the Internatio building, near the Red Bridge, the Brigadier Mallaby's car was surrounded by militias who had previously surrounded the Internatio building.
Thinking that his commander would be attacked by militia, British company D forces led by Major Venu K. Gopal fired up to disperse the militia. The militia thought they were attacked by British troops from inside the Internatio building and fired back. A British officer, Captain R.C. Smith threw grenades at the Indonesian militia, but missed and crashed right in the Mallaby Brigadier's car.
Grenade exploded and burned cars. As a result Brigadier Mallaby and his driver were killed. The preliminary report given by British troops in Surabaya to the headquarters of British troops in Jakarta mentions Brig. Gen. Mallaby was shot dead by Indonesian militia.
Lt. Gen. Philip Christison was furious at the news of Brig. Gen. Mallaby's death and deployed 24,000 extra troops to conquer Surabaya.
On 9 November 1945, the British deployed an ultimatum so that all weapons of the Indonesian army and militia were immediately handed over to the British army, but this ultimatum was ignored.
November 10, 1945, England began bombing Surabaya and fierce war lasted for 10 days. Two British planes were shot down by Indonesian troops and one of the passengers, Brigadier General Robert Guy Loder-Symonds was seriously injured and died the next day.
November 20, 1945, the UK managed to master Surabaya with the deaths of thousands of soldiers killed. More than 20,000 Indonesian soldiers, militias and residents of Surabaya were killed. The whole city of Surabaya was destroyed.
This battle was one of the bloodiest battles the British troops experienced in the 1940s. This battle shows the sincerity of the Indonesian nation to defend the independence and expel the invaders.
Because of the fierce battle and the magnitude of casualties, after this battle, the number of British troops in Indonesia began to be gradually reduced and replaced by Dutch troops. The battle on November 10, 1945 is to this day remembered and commemorated as the Day of Heroes.
The post-independence era
The city whose main road was almost shaped like a ribbon from the Wonokromo bridge to the south leading to the Red Bridge on the North along the 13 km, in the late 1980s began to change completely. Rapid population and urbanization, forcing Surabaya to flourish in the East and West as it is now. Increase in motor vehicles, the growth of new industries and the proliferation of housing undertaken by real estate companies that occupy the suburbs resulted in not only congestion in the middle of the city but also not infrequently also in the suburbs. Surabaya has grown away from a relatively small and slum city in the late 19th century, becoming a metropolitan city in the late 20th century and in the 21st century becoming one of the fastest growing metropolises in Southeast Asia. The city that in the period of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century is considered hot and shabby it also managed to turn into one of the most organized metropolis in Indonesia with cleanest air quality.
