Port Dickson is the second smallest district
in Negeri Sembilan. It is geographically located on the west
coast of Negeri Sembilan. It borders Seremban and Rembau on
the east while Sungai Sepang and Sungai Linggi divide it from
Selangor & Melaka respectively.
Formerly known as "Tanjung" to the Malays and "Alang"
to the Chinese, Port Dickson derived its name from Sir John
Frederick Dickson, the British resident responsible in developing
the area into a significant trading port in the 18th century.
Now Port Dickson or more popularly known as PD has long been
a weekend retreat for many inland dwellers, especially those
from the city seeking to temporarily escape the hustle and
bustle of a hectic life. |
