Historical Museum of Kuala Selangor District

Historical Museum of Kuala Selangor District (GPS: 3.34176, 101.24539) is the museum of Bukit Malawati in Kuala Selangor. The museum preserves the history of Kuala Selangor, which once served as the seat of the govenment of Selangor in the late 18th century. Indeed the founding of the Selangor sultanate took place in Kuala Selangor in 1766.

The galleries of the Historical Museum of Kuala Selangor District provides interpretation, not only of the district history, but the early history of the sultanate itself. From this museum, we learn about the various ethnic groups living in Selangor, how the state got its name. We also get to know the Bugis involvement in the ruling of the sultanate, the conflict between Sultan Ibrahim and the Dutch, and the installation of the first sultan of Selangor. We learn about Kuala Selangor itself, and the various hills on which forts were built to defend the state. Lastly, the museum interprets the various historic relics found on Bukit Malawati.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
