History of Kuching

Kuching was established in 1827 by the Sultanate of Brunei, and transferred to the control of British adventurer Charles Brooke who became the first of a succession of three British rulers, all from the Brooke family, who were known as the ‘White Rajahs’. The White Rajahs were notable for encouraging immigration and for working to preserve local culture and traditions, and the modern city of Kuching reflects that.
