        Herman Willem Daendels was a Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies 36th. He ruled between 1808-1811. At that time the Netherlands were occupied by the French. At his tenure he built the highway in 1808 from Anyer to Panarukan including Bekasi. Most of this road is now soars (North Beach) which stretches along the north coast of Java. This road construction is a monumental project, but paid for with many violations of human rights because it is done by force without proper reward.
        The benefits derived from this path is a path of military defense. Also in terms of the economy to support cultivation (cultuur stelsel) coffee product results from the more inland Priangan transported to the port of Cirebon and Indramayu whereas before it did not happen and product rot in warehouses coffee Sumedang, Limbangan, Cisarua, and Sukabumi. In addition, the presence of this road trip Surabaya-Batavia land previously taken 40 days could be shortened to 7 days. This is very useful for sending a letter by Daendels then managed within the postal service.
