History
The process of determining the history of the Ciamis Regency was born with the decree of the Regional House of Representatives of Ciamis Regency of 6 October 1970, concerning the formation of the committee for the preparation of a history of the Galuh Kingdom, where the committee was advised by a team of historians from Ikip Bandung led by Said Raksanegara.
The committee preparing of the history of Galuh intends to explore and study the history of Galuh as a whole, considering that there are several alternatives in determining the date of its inception. Titimangsa Rahyangta in Medang Jati, namely the establishment of the Galuh Kingdom by Wretikkandayun on 23 March 612 AD, or the Rakean Jamri, also called Raiyang Sanjaya, before the Manarah came to power. Or, one could take the date from the following events: the name of Galuh Regency was changed to Ciamis Regency by the Regent, RD. Tumenggung Sastra Winata in 1916; moving the center of government from Imbanagara to Cibatu (Ciamis) by the Regent RD. AA. Wiradikusumah on 15 January 1815; or the transfer of the center of Galuh Regency from Garatengah which is located around Cineam (Tasikmalaya) to Barunay (Imbanagara) on 12 June 1642.
