The city of Bantam near the western end of Java was a strategically important site and formerly a major trading city, with a secure harbor on the Malacca Strait through which all ocean-going traffic passed, at the mouth of a river (Cibantam River) that provided a navigable passage for light craft into the island's interior.
As a trading city Bantam received an early influx of Islamic influence in the early 16th century.
Today, Bantam is a small local seaport, economically overpowered by the neighbouring port of Merak.
