The indigenous Temuan people may have inhabited the area for some time, Chinese miners were known to be involved in tin mining up the Selangor River in the 1840s about 10 mi north of present-day Kuala Lumpur, and Mandailing Sumatrans led by Raja Asal and Sutan Puasa were also involved in tin mining and trade in the Ulu Klang region before 1860, and Sumatrans may have settled in the upper reaches of Klang River in the first quarter of the 19th century, or possibly earlier.
