The port is expected to be in the area now and the Feather Market extends Simongan go into the harbor, where a fleet of Admiral Zheng He leaned back in 1435 AD In its landing spot, Admiral Cheng Ho established the temple and the mosque, which is still visited and called Sam Poo Kong ( Gedung Batu).
At the end of the 15th century AD someone placed by the Kingdom of Demak, known as Prince Made Pandan (Sunan Pandanaran I), to spread the religion of Islam from the hills Pragota. From time to time it's more fertile areas, from between fertility came the tamarind tree charcoal (Javanese: Asem Charcoal), thus providing the title or name of the area became Semarang.
