%T Klang District And Town: History And Historical Sources.
%X The paper deals primarily with the history of Klang - both the district and the town - from the early 1870s to the 1930s. But history is not the main focus. References are made to historical sources which are useful in helping to reconstruct the history of Klang from the time it functioned as the principle port of the state of Selangor to the period when greater Klang and its surrounding territories become a major agricultural centre. Finally, mention is made of an important development hitherto little known namely the beginnings of industrialization in Malaya. The major industries were located in Klang because of the proximity to Port Swettenham.
