During the Japanese occupation, an advisory body was formed in September 1943.
Following Indonesian independence, a local representative body was established by the new Indonesian government, though it was dissolved shortly afterwards due to Dutch reoccupation of the city. After the transfer of sovereignty, a temporary elected house of 25 members was established in 1950. It was intended as a temporary body but ended up lasting until 1956, when new regulations on local legislation were issued.
