Pluit is an administrative district (''kelurahan'') located in Penjaringan, North Jakarta. In the last ten years, Pluit has established itself as a bustling commercial center with its three shopping centers : Pluit Junction, Pluit Village and Emporium Pluit Mall. Several schools in Pluit are BTB International School, Diakonia Catholic School, Tarakanita, IPEKA, BPK Penabur, Permai, Diakonia and STM 12. ==History and etymology== Contrary to popular belief, the name ''Pluit'' has no etymological connection with ''fluit'' (''whistle'' in Dutch). Instead, the name was derived from a Dutch type of ship, the ''fluyt''. In the 17th century, a fluyt called ''het Witte Paard'' was shipwrecked on the eastern coast of the Angke river estuary. This ship was subsequently used as a stronghold in addition to the already existing Castle Vijfhoek to ward off sporadic attacks of Bantenese forces. This ship was then known as ''De Fluit'', which later became ''Pluit''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pluit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
