Straits Times Weekly Issue, 4 August 1891, Page 4


On the 25th Instant, Mr. Miller (of Messrs. Gilfillan Wood & Co.), Mr. Swan (Engineer for the Sungei Ujong Government) and the hon’bles John Burkinshaw and G. S. Murray left Singapore and proceeded to Port Dickson, the new port of Sungei Ujong, for the purpose of attending the function of formally taking over the Sungei Ujong Railway by the railway Company from the contractors – Messrs. Hill and Rathborne. This company is styled: “The Sungei Ujong (Malay Peninsula) Railway Company, Limited,” and the capital was all subscribed in London, nearly all the subscribers having at some time or other been interested in the Straits. Messrs. Gilfillan Wood & Company are the general agents for the Company; and the general manager is Mr. Greg Maitland, who resides at Port Dickson and Mr. Swan is also the Company’s consulting Engineer. On arrival at Port Dickson a special train was in waiting to take the party to the terminus at Seramban which is the residency town of Sungei Ujong. A brief stoppage was made at each of the three stations en route: Quala Sala, Rasa and Baubau. On Tuesday the 28th instant the ceremonial function of the Company formally taking over the railway was performed at SerEmban.


Mr. Miller thinks the line is in as good a condition as can be expected; a great deal of inconvenience has been caused by the wet weather, but when the ballast gets a chance of settling, the line should be a very smooth one. There are three classes of carriages, which are of a comfortable description. The stations at Port Dickson and Seramban are well built roomy structures. After the 1st August it is intended to run the trains to suit the arrival and departure of steamers from Port Dickson, and any reasonable suggestion in the working of the line will meet with the consideration of the Company’s agents.

THESE STATIONS WAS BUILT FOR SUNGEI UJONG RAILWAY WHICH THEN OFFICIALLY OPENED IN JULY 1891 FROM SUNGEI UJONG (SEREMBAN TO PORT DICKSON)


HISTORY OF PORT DICKSON :

The name Port Dickson originated from the British High Officer, Sir John Frederick Dickson who was posted at the Straits Settlement during the end of the 19th century. Prior to being developed the area was formerly known as Tanjung (which means cape) among local Malays due to its geographic location at a small bay. The local Chinese and Indians on the other hand had named this place Alang or Arang (which means charcoal) due to its location near to an island known for its coal mine production and acted as supplier to the nearby areas.
Since Arang has rapidly grown into an industrial area while Tanjung is a fast developing town area, the Secretary of the Federated States, Sir John Frederick Dickson, had gazetted Tanjung be made into a strategic seaport as well as a retreat for British officials and farmers.
In 1891, with aims to furthermore enhance the effectiveness of this new seaport, a 39-km railway track had been proposed to link Tanjung and Sungai Ujong (now known as Seremban). A plan was drafted out to allow various goods such as spices, rice, and tapioca brought by the trade ships to be transported from the port to Sungai Ujong by train.
Furthermore, it has been ascertained that the railway lines and seaport has played a vital role in expanding the export trading of tin from the mines in Sungai Ujong. To facilitate the construction of these railway lines, the British had brought in labour all the way from India. With determined efforts, the railway was successfully completed and launched by the Secretary of the Federated States, Sir John Frederick Dickson. In conjunction with the official opening of the railway line, the British had formally changed the name of Tanjung to Port Dickson. From then onwards, the name has become renowned not just locally but also internationally.
The success of this port has also paved its way to several development changes to its city centre. Wooden shop houses were demolished and replaced with brick masonry shop buildings. About 45 brick shop buildings have been built while applications have also been received for idle land along the coastline.
