Kuala Lumpur began in the 1850s, when Klang's Malayo president Raja Abdullah, a member of the King Selangor, hired some Chinese laborers to open large and new tin mines. The miners go to the Gombak River (formerly known as the Lumpur River, meaning "muddy river") and the Klang to open the mines in Ampang, Pudu and Batu. These miners developed a trade station and this place became a marginal town.

The people who explored the settlement in Ampang, and formed their organizations. The two biggest organizations are the Hai Son community dominated by the Gia Commune, and the Association of the Hoi Hung people in Fujian, who are constantly fighting for the control over the production of tin in the town. Due to the constant struggle between the two sides, the production of tin mining was stagnant, making the British (now ruling Selangor) appoint a Chinese Kapitan (chief) to manage Kuala Lumpur. Woof Siew, elected as the first Kapitan, he owned a mine in Lukut. He was one of the first businessmen to go to Ampang, sell food to the miners in exchange for tin.

In the beginning, Kuala Lumpur existed many problems, including the Selangor civil war; and also suffer disasters such as disease or fire and continuous floods. Around the 1870s, Kuala Lumpur's third Chinese Kapitan, Yap Ah Loy, became the leader, responsible for survival and systematic development of the town. He began to develop Kuala Lumpur from a small settlements known as a prosperous mining town. In 1880, strategically, Selangor's national capital moved from Klang to Kuala Lumpur.
