'''Sukabumi''' is a city and [[regency (Indonesia)|regency]] in the highlands of [[West Java]], [[Indonesia]], about 80 km (50 miles) south of the national capital, [[Jakarta]].
At an altitude of approximately 600 meters (2000 feet), the city is a minor [[hill station]] resort, with a cooler climate than the surrounding lowlands. Sukabumi is also a destination for [[whitewater rafting]]. [[Rubber]] production is a major industry in the area.
In Dutch colonial times, Sukabumi was the site of the colonial police academy. In early [[2005]], Sukabumi became the first place in Indonesia that [[Poliomyelitis|polio]] was reported in ten years, the beginning of a nationwide outbreak of the disease which had been believed to be eradicated in the country.<ref>Indonesia confirms second case of polio, ''ABC Radio Australia'' 5 April 2005.</ref>
Made in 804 the ''Sukabumi inscription''' is the earliest evidence of [[Old Javanese]] script and language.
