After the turn of Ortis de Frets Skipper - Skipper ocean, among others ALVARO DE MEMDANA NEYRA (1567), ANTOMIO MARTA (1591-1593), and others. It can be concluded that people Spanyolpun been no contact and touch with the people in Jayapura and the surrounding areas. Furthermore Besleit (Decree) Gubernemen East Indies No. 4, dated August 28, 1909 to the Assistant Resident, in Manokwari conjunct one detachment (4 + 80 army officers). In the decree, among others, stated (in Dutch) translated into Indonesian.

Netherlands or Holland or the Netherlands - shows the state geography berteluk bay. Georgrafi Jayapura city is almost the same as the northern coastline of the Netherlands that.
