Rawang

Rawang is a town and a mukim in Gombak District, Selangor, Malaysia, about 23 km northwest of downtown Kuala Lumpur. Rawang changed into based in the early-19th century and changed into one of the earliest satellite towns of Kuala Lumpur. During the initial tin mining growth of Kuala Lumpur, many tin mines had been explored and opened north of Kuala Lumpur, starting first of all at the Ulu Kelang region and progressively moving northwards past Selayang and towards Rawang.

The earliest estimates of Rawang's founding date lower back to 1825. It became the second area in Selangor to be explored for tin mining. The tin mining enterprise in Rawang advanced simultaneously at around the same time as the bigger tin mines Perak. During the Selangor Civil War of the 1860s and 1870s, Yap Ah Loy's gangs who have been aligned with Tengku Kudin repelled Syed Mashor's troops faraway from Kuala Lumpur and pushed them further north.

During the Battle of Rawang in 1871, Syed Mashor's fans and Chinese gangs loyal to him led with the aid of Chong Chong ended up being driven up in the direction of Serendah and Kuala Kubu Bharu, with Yap Ah Loy's men holding their floor at Rawang. Thus, Rawang became an unofficial boundary of Tengku Kudin's dominance at the northern Klang Valley at some point of the warfare.
