"In the interest of local government implementation of a more tidy in the southern region and increasing development pe Banyumas, abuhan Cilacap, the organization's pending proposal southern districts which will be part of, one of three Assistant Resident in this residency will be based in Cilacap".

Because the area of South Banyumas considered too broad to be maintained by the Regent and Regent Purwokerto Banyumas then with Besluit dated June 27, 1841 No. 10 stipulated: "Patenschap" Dayeuhluhur separated from Banyumas and made a separate department namely: section Cilacap Cilacap to the capital city, which became locus chief European Bestuur Bestuur Assistant Resident and Chief Native Rangga or Onder Regent.
