Brief History of The City Blora

Do you know the history of Blora??? City of peace, calm. Take it easy ......... I'll give a brief info  about the origins of this beloved city. 

Blora, BELOR derived from the word meaning mud, and then eventually develop into Mbeloran now known as BLORA.

Blora etymologically derived from the word " Wai + Lorah ". Wai means water, and Lorah means low ground or a cliff.

In the Java language often changes the letter W with the letter B, without changing the meaning of the word. So over the development period Wailorah words turned into Bailorah, from Bailorah become Balora and eventually became Blora Balora said.

So the name has a meaning Blora low watery land, this is very close to understanding the muddy ground.

Blora Regency area consists of lowlands and hills. The northern part is the hilly region, part of a series of North Limestone Mountains. The south is also the form of limestone hills that are part of Kendeng Mountains, which stretches from east of Semarang to Lamongan (East Java).
