Cilincing is a historic neighborhood and administrative district (kecamatan) on the coast of North Jakarta Administrative City, Indonesia. It is sandwiched between the Port of Tanjung Priok to the west and River Titram to the east. Cilincing has been for some decades one of the districts of North Jakarta which in turn encompasses as far as Marunda and some non-coastal hinterland.
The name Cilincing is likely derived from the name of the river Ci Lincing, the local river that flows to its northern mouth. Ci is a Sundanese word for "river", while Lincing is the name for the plant carambola.[1][2]
