    Port Dickson

    1 History
    This small town used to produce charcoal, but it was later
    developed as a small port by the British during the Straits
    Settlement period. Port Dickson was also known as Tanjung. In the Malay language, that means cape. The
    oldest shophouses were the four situated presently at Jalan
    Lama. There was also a carbon mine at the rst mile of
    the coast road (Jalan Pantai), and therefore Port Dickson
    was also called Arang (charcoal) in the Malay language.
    Historically what is today Port Dickson and nearby Lukut
    were part of Selangor. On 30 July 1880, a meeting was
    held in Singapore between Sultan Abdul Samad (then
    Sultan of Selangor), Raja Bot (the ruler of Lukut district), Dato' Kelana of Sungai Ujong as well as the British,
    in which Selangor cedes the district of Lukut to Sungai
    Ujong (which later became Negeri Sembilan).[1][2]
    Tin ore was plentiful in Lukut, an area within the Port
    Dickson district, during the 1820s, and it attracted Chinese immigrant miners. The British considered the area
    to have great potential as a harbour. It was intended to
    supersede the port in Pengkalan Kempas. The in-charge
    ocers name was Dickson, and thereafter the town was
    named Port Dickson. Others claim that Sir John Frederick Dickson, colonial sectary,[3] a senior ocial of the
    Federated Malay States founded Port Dickson and Pulau
    Arang in 1889.[4]

    Map of Port Dickson

    Port Dickson evolved into a busy trading centre. Railways were constructed to facilitate the growth and development of Port Dickson. Although Port Dickson experienced rapid development, the beautiful beaches are fairly
    well preserved. Now, Port Dickson has become not only a
    beautiful tourist destination, but a large municipality with
    about 524,076 residents.

    2 Oil and Gas


    Port Dickson has two reneries which make signicant
    contributions to the local economy. Shell Rening Company has been operating since 1962[5] and Petron operates another renery which began operation in 1963.[6]

    resorts were opened to tourist.
    3 stars

    In the 1990s, Port Dickson boomed with new hotels and


    resorts being planned and constructed. Due to the Asian
    nancial crisis of 1997 however, many of these projects
    stalled, leaving many unnished buildings scattered along
    the Port Dickson coastline. While some of these half constructed resorts are still abandoned, with the improving
    economy of the 2000s many of the projects were revived
    and completed.
    Port Dickson is also home to many army camps of the
    Malaysian Army such as Sebatang Karah, Segenting, Si
    Rusa and Sunggala. [7] In September 2009, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak declared that Port Dickson shall be known as Port DicksonArmy Town in
    recognition of her role in the nations military services.[8]
