== Etymology == The name ''Kajang'' is believed to have originated from the language of [[Temuan people|Temuan tribes]] ([[Orang Asli]]) who populated the [[Langat River|Langat valley]] in the 17th-18th centuries. In [[Temuan language|their language]] ''kajang'' referred to their art of weaving [[screwpine]] or [[pandanus]] leaves, which were prevalent in much of the country. A similar theory stated that settlers from the neighboring domain of [[Sungai Ujong]] ([[Negeri Sembilan]]) once constructed huts (''pondok'') in the area with [[Thatching|thatched]] roof made from folded (''lipat kajang'') screwpine leaves.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kajang kaya warisan sejarah |url=https://www.bharian.com.my/hujung-minggu/kembara/2019/09/612085/kajang-kaya-warisan-sejarah |access-date=27 August 2021 |website=Berita Harian}}</ref> It is also believed that the name ''kajang'' may have originated from the [[Bugis language|Buginese]] word ''berkajang'', meaning ''camp'' or ''accommodation''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Asal usul nama Kajang |url=https://www.sinarharian.com.my/politik/asal-usul-nama-kajang-1.249007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171120073939/https://www.sinarharian.com.my/politik/asal-usul-nama-kajang-1.249007 |archive-date=20 November 2017 |access-date=27 August 2021 |website=Sinar Harian}}</ref>
