Introduction
Klang is one of the oldest town in Selangor. The importance of Klang elevated in 19th century due to the rapid expansion of tin mining activities in Klang Valley. After 1874, the British opted for Klang over Jugra as the centre of their administration, and this remained until 1880 when they moved it to the mining centre of Kuala Lumpur. Despite the transition, Klang did not lose its greatness, and remained renown with the construction of Port Klang (formerly known as Port Swettenham) in 1901, which made the royal town the chief outlet for
Selangor’s tin. In addition, its position was enhanced in 1886 by the Klang Valley railway. In the 1980’s the town’s growth was further stimulated by the State becoming a leading producer of coffee and rubber. Today, many majordevelopments are taking place in Klang thus changing further its current conditions in term of urban layout and architecture. Without proper documentation of what was there, future generations might not know the city; its origin and development. Therefore, this project attempts to document Klang through report and analysis.
