A BRIEF HISTORY 99Chronology of the History of Kuala Lumpur KL AT A GLANCE1857Kuala Lumpur had its humble beginningwhen it was founded in 1857. WhenRaja Abdullah, a member of theSelangor royal family, opened up partof the Klang Valley for tin prospectors,a new settlement started as Chineseprospectors went up the Klang River andbegan prospecting in the Ampang area,which was then jungle. It attracted merchants and traders to come and set up shops atthe con uence of the Klang and Gombak rivers. Thus, the town was born.1880In view of its strategic location, Kuala Lumpur was made the capital of Selangor,replacing Klang. 1881 The re and subsequent ood brought great damage to Kuala Lumpur as most of its building structures were made of wood or thatch. Consequently, Kapitan Yap decided to rebuild the town using bricks and tiles. He established Kuala Lumpur’s rst school and a shelter for the homeless, then licensed brothels, casinos and saloon bars.1896Kuala Lumpur was made the capital in 1896 when the Federated Malay States (FMS)were incorporated with Swettenham, the Resident-General, in charge. The evolution ofKuala Lumpur to the classic epitome of British colonialism and the oppression of Britishimperialism caused local nationalists to burn with their own dreams of independence.1942The Japanese occupied Kuala Lumpur for 44 months, from January 11, 1942 to August15, 1945 and it almost halted the economy of Kuala Lumpur.1945General Seishiro Itagaki, the General of Japanese Military Administratives, surrenderedto the British in Kuala Lumpur after Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan were attackedwith atomic bombs causing massive destruction on both the major cities. After the fallof Japanese, the British returned to Kuala Lumpur.1946The British o cially declared Malayan Union administrate Malaya and Kuala Lumpur inKing’s House on 1 April 1946.1957At the stroke of midnight on 31 August 1957, the rst Malayan ag was raised on thegrounds of Merdeka Square and Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the rst PrimeMinister, declared independence in Stadium Merdeka.1972Kuala Lumpur was conferred the city status on February 1, 1972.1974After being detached from its mother state of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur was made into aunit of its own called the Federal Territory.
