Madoera Residency (Dutch: Residentie Madoera) was an administrative subdivision (Residency) of the Dutch East Indies located on the island of Madura and with its capital at Pamekasan.[1][2] It also included some smaller islands off Madura such as the Kangean Islands and Sapudi Islands.[1] The Residency was divided into 4 districts (afdeelingen): Pamekasan, Bangkalan, Sampang and Soemenep.[2] It existed from the 1880s, when the Dutch established more direct control over the Island, to 1942 when the Japanese invaded the Indies, except for a brief period 1928-31 when it was divided into two smaller residencies (east and west).
