The current generation is increasingly disconnected from the legacy of a prominent figure who was not only a central leader of Muhammadiyah but also a national figure in Indonesia. This study used historical research methodology with historical explanation as analytical tool The existence of Muhammadiyah in East Java was vastly commenced by its founder, Kiai Dahlan as he himself disseminated da’wa of Muhammadiyah in the province. However, to this day, there has been no historical record discussing the da’wa journey of Kiai Dahlan in East Java. Hence, and historiography (historical writing). Distinguished from other types of study, this is instigated from historical sources such as historical writing, inscription, cultural products, fossil, building remnants, and other oral historical records. The study concluded that Kiai Dahlan arrived in East Java during 1916-1922 AD. The note was proved through 3 activities. First, Kiai Dahlan convened several leaders in Surabaya, Malang, Ponorogo, Madiun, Pasuruan, and Banyuwangi. Secondly, he traded sarung (Islamic sheath) and batik in every city he visited. Third, he performed da’wa, established musholla (small prayer room), and built Muhammadiyah branch and school.
