Johor Bahru History
was founded in the late 1850's by the father of Sultan Abu Bakar, one of the most best-remembered of all Malay Sultans (kings/rulers). The town was first called Tanjung Puteri and it was a Malay fishing village. Sultan Abu Bakar changed the name to Johor Bahru when he proclaimed it the capital of his kingdom in 1866, following the act of moving the seat of the government from the old capital at Teluk Belanga (now Johor Lama) on Sungai Johor (Johor River).
