History

Origin of the Name

Klang is formerly known as "Kelang". A popular version of the origin of the name is that it was from the Mon-Khymer word "Klong" or Malay word "Kilang" meaning warehouses, given that it was full of warehouses in the old days.

Klang North and South

Until recently, parts of Klang were referred to as either Klang North or Klang South due to the division by the Klang River. Generally, Klang North is more commercial while more residential areas and government offices are located in Klang South. Hence, Klang North tends to busier and becomes a hive of activities after working hours. This was slightly altered by the rapid growth of "Little India".
