history

Jenilu (here Djenilo ) on a map of Central Timor from 1914

Jenilu was originally a small empire of the northern Tetum that consisted of a few small villages. The center was in a valley about three miles from the Atapupu river port , which now belongs to Jenilu.

After the Europeans arrived in Timor, the region initially came under the nominal suzerainty of Portugal . In the Treaty of Paravicini , Jacinto Correa ( Hiacijinto Corea ) signed an alliance with the Dutch East India Company (VOC) for the Kingdom of Jenilu in 1756, as King of Wewiku - Wehale and Grand Duke of Belu . In 1848 the ruler of Oecusse occupied Jenilu again on behalf of Portugal. The Dutch intervened because they feared that the important port of Atapupu could lose its connection with the hinterland. The negotiations were initially unsuccessful. It was not until 1859 that Jenilu was finally assigned to the Netherlands in the Treaty of Lisbon .

Among the rulers of Jenilus there are also women, such as Mariana Rosa da Costa (1879-1893).
