Kuala Selangor Historical Sites
"
The whole area, which included other early settlements like Jeram, about 16km to Permatang, on the other side of Sungai Selangor (Selangor River), was under the rule of the Malacca Empire and, later, the Johor Empire."
According to historical records, Kuala Selangor had been settled from as early as the 16th century. The whole area, which included other early settlements like Jeram, about 16km to Permatang, on the other side of Sungai Selangor (Selangor River), was under the rule of the Malacca Empire and, later, the Johor Empire.
But by the end of the 17th century, the Bugis had conquered these places. In 1857, the nobles and residents including the Klang dignitaries united and formed a government in Selangor, with Raja Lumu (the son of Raja Bugis), installed as the first ruler of Selangor.
After 1857, the state's administrative centre shifted from Kuala Selangor to Jugra and later to Klang. Nevertheless, Kuala Selangor continued to play an important role in the history of Selangor: it was the scene of many battles against the Dutch and later the British.
Kuala Selangor is blessed with many interesting historical sites that can be turned into premier assets from the tourism point of view. Some of the notable tourist attractions are Bukit Malawati (Malawati Hill), fireflies at Kampong Kuantan and Tanah Alam. Other than these, several other areas such as Pulau Angsa, Pantai Remis and Sungai Selangor have been identified as potential areas for tourism development.
Also known as Bukit Tabur, this hill is rich in historical background, especially its fort which was built by local Malays during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim, the second Sultan of Selangor (1778-1826).
