Its pioneer days go back to the 1870s, but Kuala Lumpur's history really had its beginnings in the British colonial period. The city, commonly known as KL, has developed around the Y-shaped junction of the two rivers; in the space of a century it grew from a trading post and tin mining shanty town into a colonial capital. By 1896, Kuala Lumpur had grown steadily to become the capital of the New Federated Malay States. Today it is a cosmopolitan, modern business hub and the center of government. With a population of about two million, it is one of Southeast Asia's smallest capitals.
The rapidly growing business center of KL and its industrial satellites is gaining the lion's share of the country's manufacturing investment. Scores of stylish high-rise office blocks have gone up, contrasting sharply with the Victorian, Moghul-style buildings, the art deco central market and the Chinese shop-houses. The Petronas Twin Towers surpass the Sears Tower in Chicago as the world's tallest building. Efforts are being made to create a new Malaysian architecture to lend the city a more integrated look and a national identity. However, it is the unique blend of traditional Malay heritage with British colonial architecture, Chinese and Indian cultures that make KL such an interesting place to visit.
