Brief History of Kuala Lumpur

The history of Kuala Lumpur started in 1857. Raja Abdullah sent 87 Chinese miners to Ampang from Klang to find a tin deposit. From the city of Klang, they went down the Klang River until they reached the junction of two rivers, the Gombak River and the Klang River. Due to the overload and the shallow river, they had to land and build temporary settlements on the banks of the Klang River. From the confluence of the two rivers, the name Kuala Lumpur is derived.

The discovery of large amounts of tin ore in Ampang has led to an influx of miners from China. As a result, shops selling necessities began to open along the Klang River to meet the daily needs of Chinese miners. Gradually a city was formed, which was named Kuala Lumpur.

The size of the city covers about 245 km square, formally part of Selangor state. However, in 1974 it was handed over by Sultan Selangor to the Federal government to be made as a capital city and administered directly.
