HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL SITES

Kuala Langat

 Jugra was the state government’s administrative center from the 19th century until the early 20th century and also the capital during the reign of Sultan Abdul Samad, the 4th Sultan of Selangor, and Sultan Alauddin Sulaiman Shah, the 5th Sultan. Among the historical remains that can still be seen today are the Sultan Abdul Samad Mausoleum, Alauddin Palace or better known as ‘Istana Bandar’, the Sultan Alauddin Mosque, the remains of the Jugra District Office, Klang Building and the remains of the Jugra District Officer’s house.

Klang

In 1903, Sultan Alauddin moved the administrative center of the Selangor Sultanate from Jugra to Klang and now the town is accorded the status as Selangor Darul Ehsan’s Royal Town. There are many governmental historical sites in the town. Amongst them are the famous Suleiman Jamiur Rahman Mosque, a former state mosque built in 1932 by Sultan Alauddin Suleiman Shah. In 1866, Raja Mahadi Ibni Almarhum Raja Sulaiman built Raja Mahadi Fort as a defence fort against attacks by Raja Abdullah Ibni Raja Jaafar. Thereafter, it became the residence of Tengku Kudin until 1898.

Gedung Raja Abdullah (Raja Abdullah Godown) was the residence of Raja Abdullah Ibni Almarhum Raja Jaafar who was installed as the Sultan in 1845. This building was used to store tin ores and other trading goods. It is now a Tin Museum. The Sultan Suleiman Shah Building built in 1910 is one of the oldest buildings on Stesen Road. It was once a Japanese military camp and then became the district administrative headquarters. In 1985 it was used as the Selangor Police Contingent Headquarters and thereafter as the Klang Municipal Council branch office from 1988 until now.

Historical and Cultural Heritage

 As Royal towns, historical remains of the Selangor Sultanate are still preserved in both districts, such as the Raja Mahadi Fort, Gedung Raja Abdullah, Sultan Sulaiman Mosque, Shah Alam Palace, Istana Bandar, Sultan Abdul Samad Mausoleum and Sultan Alauddin Mosque. An indigenous village in Carey Island by the name of Sungai Bumbun Village has been designated as Heritage Village to house the cultural treasures of the Mahmeris tribe.
