It developed as a trading post with something of a ‘wild west' atmosphere where the Chinese miners prospecting the tin ore laden sediments of the Klang valley could come to buy provisions borrow money trade and generally let off steam.The first streets including Leboh Ampang famous for its ‘Chetty' Indian moneylenders and sundry goods traders grew from this point. Many of the old Chinese straits style shop houses of brick and stucco are still standing and doing business today the wooden ones though have rarely survived. Most of the city's important historic landmarks are also to be found very close by.
