History.
During the colonial era, Kebayoran was a "kawedanan" (an administrative area below a Regency, above a Subdistrict), headed by a "wedana". Kebayoran Kawedanan was part of the Meester Cornelis Regency, whose area also included Ciputat.
Around 1938, an airport was planned in the area by the government of Dutch East Indies, but was cancelled because of World War II. This undeveloped area was later, after the independence period, developed into the Kebayoran Baru District, while the rest of the area becomes the Kebayoran Lama District.
In 1990, part of Kebayoran Lama District was made into Pesanggrahan District.
