Selangor

The origin of the name Selangor is uncertain. A common suggestion is that the name refers to the Malay word langau, a large fly or blowfly that is found in the marshes along the Selangor River (Sungai Selangor) in the state's north-west. According to local lore, a warrior who escaped from Malacca after the Portuguese conquest, took a break from his journey north and rested under a tree here. However, he was disturbed by a persistent fly, whereupon he decided to explore the area. When he found the place to his liking and chose to settle there, he named the place "satu (se) langau" meaning "a large blowfly".{{cite web |url=http://www.mdks.gov.my/en/visitors/kuala-selangor-info/page/0/2 |title= Kuala Selangor Info: Page 3 of 4: Oral History |work= Kuala Selangor District Council |date= 6 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180803134041/http://www.mdks.gov.my/en/visitors/kuala-selangor-info/page/0/2 |archive-date=3 August 2018 }}{{cite web |url=http://says.com/my/lifestyle/the-origins-of-state-names-in-malaysia |title=The Stories And Facts Behind How The 13 States of Malaysia Got Their Names|author= Tang Ruxyn|date= 26 April 2017 |work= Says}}

In the absence of a firm etymological explanation, alternative theories abound. One suggestion is that the name may have originated from a kind of tree found in Kuala Selangor and along Selangor River named mentangau.{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161208140351/http://www.mdks.gov.my/ms/pelawat/info-kuala-selangor/page/0/2 |archive-date=8 December 2016 |url=http://www.mdks.gov.my/ms/pelawat/info-kuala-selangor/page/0/2 |title=Info Kuala Selangor: Halaman 3 dari 4 - Cerita-Cerita Lisan|work=Majlis Daerah Kuala Selangor |date=6 January 2016 }} Another theory claims the state's name is derived from the term Salang Ur where ur means "town" or "village" in Tamil, meaning village of the Salang people. It has also been proposed that the name is derived from a combination of salang (stabbing) and jemur (dry in the sun), indicating that it was once a place where traitors were stabbed (salang) then left to roast in the sun (jemur).

According to the Malay Annals, Tun Perak was appointed the chief of Klang during the reign of Muzaffar Shah. Later, Paduka Sri Cina, the son of Mansur Shah and Hang Li Po was made raja of Jeram near Langat, which may be due to the presence of Chinese miners there.

In the 19th century, the economy of Selangor boomed due to the exploitation of its tin reserves; mining occurred in various parts of Selangor, for example in Ampang, that led to the growth of Kuala Lumpur. In 1854, the Sultan of Selangor granted Raja Abdullah control of Klang, passing over Raja Mahdi, the son of the chief who previously ruled Klang, which led to the Selangor Civil War fought between 1867 and 1874. The war between the Malay factions was also partly a struggle for control of the tin revenue.{{cite book |title=The Story of Kuala Lumpur, 1857-1939 |author= J.M.

The conflicts between Malay and Chinese factions in Perak and Selangor, as well as concerns over piracy that affected coastal trade, led to increasing British involvement in the affairs of the Malay states.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yookbQZ-0yUC&pg=PA139|title= South East Asia, Colonial History: Peaceful transitions to independence (1945-1963)|author= Paul H.

In 1874, Sultan Abdul Samad of Selangor accepted a British Resident in a system that allowed the British to govern while the Sultan remained the apparent ruler. Klang was the capital of the British colonial administration of Selangor from 1875 until 1880 when it was moved to Kuala Lumpur. Under the stability imposed by the British, Selangor again prospered. In 1896, largely through the coordination of the Resident Frank Swettenham, Selangor united with Negeri Sembilan, Perak and Pahang to form the Federated Malay States, with Kuala Lumpur as its capital.{{cite web|last1=Benfield|first1=H.

The Federated Malay States evolved into the Federation of Malaya in 1948, which became independent in 1957. The federation became known as Malaysia in 1963, when its existing states federated with the other British colonies of Sarawak, North Borneo and Singapore. The city of Kuala Lumpur functioned as the national capital of Malaysia and as the state capital of Selangor. In 1974, Selangor relinquished Kuala Lumpur to the federal government.{{cite news|work=New Straits Times|title=The Birth of a Metropolis ..A Moment of History For All .|date=29 January 1974|access-date=25 October 2010|url= https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Y90qAAAAIBAJ&pg=1417,3052818&dq=kuala+lumpur+federal+territory&hl=en}} The Sultan of Selangor commemorated the city's transfer by building an archway on the borders of the new Federal Territory and Selangor; this archway is the Kota Darul Ehsan that straddles a section of the Federal Highway between Bangsar and Petaling Jaya. The state capital was moved to Shah Alam after the cession.

Putrajaya, a new city designed to be the new administrative capital of Malaysia, was built by the federal government in Selangor; Sultan Salahuddin was asked again to cede land to the federal government.{{cite news|title=Putrajaya milik Persekutuan, Selangor dibayar RM200 juta|url=http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2000&dt=1108&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=fp_02.htm|access-date=23 May 2018|work=Utusan Malaysia|date=8 November 2000|archive-date=23 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180523173545/http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2000&dt=1108&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=fp_02.htm|url-status=dead}} Putrajaya became a federal territory in 2001.{{cite news|title=PM isytihar Putrajaya sebagai Wilayah Persekutuan|url=http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2001&dt=0202&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=mh_02.htm|access-date=23 May 2018|work=Utusan Malaysia|date=2 February 2001|archive-date=21 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180821000021/http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2001&dt=0202&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=mh_02.htm|url-status=dead}}

Selangor, with an area of approximately 8,000 km², extends to the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The state is bordered north by Bernam River from Perak, south by Sepang River from Negeri Sembilan, east and southeast by the Titiwangsa Mountains from Pahang and Negeri Sembilan and the Strait of Malacca on the west, and surrounds the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.

Topographically wise, Selangor is relatively level near the coast and gradually become more hilly and mountainous towards the east. The hill and mountain, surrounding the eastern and central portion of the state effectively forming a valley and a drainage basin of the Klang River, known as the Klang Valley, where most of the population are centered. The Klang Valley is often synonymously associated with another toponym, Greater Kuala Lumpur, though both terms vary between each other. Being one of the most heavily urbanised regions in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, cities that make up Klang Valley include the state and royal capitals of Shah Alam and Klang, as well as the federal capital, Kuala Lumpur, which is strategically situated in the heart of the state. It was once part of Selangor territory before it was ceded to the federal government in 1974 to form a Federal Territory. It was then followed by the 1995 cession of Prang Besar of Sepang District to the federal government, which became what is now the nation's administrative and judicial capital Putrajaya.

Selangor is divided into nine districts namely Sabak Bernam, Kuala Selangor, Hulu Selangor, Gombak, Petaling, Klang, Kuala Langat, Hulu Langat and Sepang.

Selangor is Malaysia's most populous state; it has the nation's biggest conurbation, the Klang Valley. Selangor's geographical position in the centre of Peninsular Malaysia contributed to the state's rapid development as Malaysia's transportation and industrial hub, creating jobs and attracting migrants from other states and from other Asian countries, especially Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and China.

Selangor's population has increased considerably in recent decades, due mostly to the development of the Klang Valley. The population was 1,426,250 in 1980, and by 2000 it had grown to 3,941,316.{{cite web |url=http://www.statistics.gov.my/ccount12/click.php?id=2127 |title=Laporan Kiraan Permulaan 2010 |publisher=Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia |page=25 |access-date=24 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101227065717/http://www.statistics.gov.my/ccount12/click.php?id=2127 |archive-date=27 December 2010}} and further increased to 5,482,141 in 2010.

The traditional culture of Selangor's Malay majority is also influenced by those of Bugis, Minangkabau, Mandailing, Javanese, and Banjarese ancestry; most of whom are Muslims. Javanese ancestry are dominant in west coast districts such as Sabak Bernam, Kuala Selangor, Klang, Kuala Langat and Sepang. Whereas Minangkabau descent are dominant in Gombak and Hulu Selangor.Prof. Dr. H. Saifullah SA, MA, Dr. Febri Yulika, S.Ag., M.Hum; Pertautan Budaya, Sejarah Minangkabau dan Negeri Sembilan; 2017 Selangor's population also includes ethnic Chinese and Indian influences; those two groups form the largest minority populations.
