Jugra

It was situated in a strategic location, not exactly at the river mouth but easily accessible from the Straits of Malacca, and protected by a hill, Bukit Jugra; which stands clearly out above the low-lying mangrove swamps.

[1] It was during this time that Jugra also briefly became the centre of British administration in Selangor, although this was soon moved to Klang and, a decade later, to Kuala Lumpur.

Sultan Alauddin Sulaiman subsequently moved his official residence to the Istana Alam Shah in Klang further north in 1905, where he lived for the next 35 years.

[2] After that, Jugra quickly shrank to become a backwater, as even the Kuala Langat constituency's administration was relocated to Banting.

Rail transit services are unavailable in Jugra, and rapidKL buses do not ply this area, but Smart Selangor buses (route BTG2), a free bus service subsidized by the Selangor state government, connects the nearby hamlet of Permatang Pasir (about 2 km east) to Banting town.
