The official residence of theUndangof the Luak of Sungai Ujong inAmpangan.

Seremban was founded asSungei Ujong(orSungai Ujong). While the town was renamed Seremban thereafter, the name Sungai Ujong most prominently persists as a street name for a road adjoining the southern side of town (Sungai Ujong Road, orJalan Sungai Ujong). It is also the name of aluak(chiefdom) that formedNegeri Sembilan,that covers theeponymous districtas well as neighbouringPort Dickson District.

Among theChinese-speaking community,the city is known as "fùhyùhng"in Cantonese and"fúróng"in Mandarin (Chinese:Phù dung,literally "hibiscus"), which comes from a phonetic approximation of" Ujong "(using the Cantonese reading of the characters).

History

Amuralin theLorong Seni(Art Alley), reflecting the city'stinmining origins.

Sungai Ujong,also known asSening Ujong,as it was originally known, was an ancient settlement. It has been said in theMalay AnnalsthatKing Parameswarareportedly visited Sening Ujong after fleeing the kingdom ofSingapurabefore ultimately establishing theMalacca Sultanate.The same settlement was also referred asSang Hyang UjonginJavaneseaccounts, notably theNagarakretagama,as well asSuneujoninGodinho de Erédia's cartographic records, which dates back to 1613.Growth took off, as with most major towns inPeninsular Malaysia,after the discovery oftin orein the 1870s. The discovery of tin in a nearby area calledRasahsaw an influx ofArab,Malayand Chinese immigrants to work on theminesand trade there. Most of the local Malays were farmers.

Map of Seremban in 1951

Renamed as Seremban, the town flourished not only as a mining area but also a business centre. TheLinggi Riverserved as the sole outlet to ferrytinand supplies in and out of the town. Revenue came not only from tin trade but also from the large amount of taxes collected, much to the displeasure of the traders and theBritish colonialistsat the neighbouring port ofMalacca.

The local chieftains, namely the Dato' Kelana and the Dato' Shahbandar of Sungai Ujong were at odds with each other on the rights to collect taxes and ownership and control of the mines. The rivalry to assert influence and authority opened the door for British intervention in Negeri Sembilan. The British sided with the Dato' Kelana upon invitation and defeated the Dato' Bandar forces who was later sent into exile to Singapore. In a show of gratitude to the British for helping him win the war, the Dato' Kelana had no choice but to accept a British Resident whose job was to advise him on matters other than religion andMalay customs.

Captain Murray was appointed the first resident and later set-up his residence at Channer Road, now renamed Jalan Dato' Siamang Gagap. Soon after, the people living around Rasah moved to Channer Road for the sake of security and its orderly administration.

City status

Before 2020, Seremban was one of four state capitals that had yet to be elevated to city status (Malay:Bandar raya); the other three beingKota Bharu(Kelantan),Kuantan(Pahang) andKangar(Perlis). To achieve city status, the state government had agreed to merge the Nilai Municipal Council and Seremban Municipal Council, with that decision being approved by thefederal governmentin 2012.

Then Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said during Tuanku Mukhriz's birthday

The state government wanted to ensure all the necessary infrastructure, public transport and amenities and services which include garbage collection and safer neighbourhoods, were in place before it did so.

On 13 December 2017, thenMenteri BesarofNegeri Sembilan,Mohamad Hasanstated that Seremban achieve city status in 2018.In order to get city status, both Seremban and Nilai Municipal Councils would be merged to form a new local authority, Seremban City Council.However, he said, the merging of the two entities would not involve reducing staff or higher assessment rates in the Seremban area, as increasing rates was not a prerequisite for attaining city status.

So, I hereby announce that the assessment rates in Negeri Sembilan for 2018 will not be raised

In February 2018, a further announcement was made regarding the formation of Seremban City Hall (Dewan Bandaraya Seremban), which was poised to be completed in April. However, the official declaration of Seremban as a city would only occur in January 2019, in conjunction with the birthday of the state's ruler Tuanku Muhriz (January 14).After the change in the ruling coalition after the 14th General Election ushered in a new state government, the new Mentri Besar Aminuddin Harun announced his decision to push back the official promotion towards the end of the year, citing the inability of contractors to complete refurbishment works at the new City Hall in time. However, the postponement would allow the authorities time to iron out any flaws in Seremban's infrastructure and amenities.

Two municipal administrators, Seremban Municipal Council (Majlis Perbandaran Seremban) and Nilai Municipal Council (Majlis Perbandaran Nilai) officially merged into a new administrator,Seremban City Council(Majlis Bandaraya Seremban) on 1 January 2020. On 20 January, Seremban's status as a city was officialised in a declaration ceremony.
