The city serves as the cultural, financial, tourism, political and economic centre of Malaysia. It is also home to the [[bicameral]] [[Parliament of Malaysia]] (consisting of the [[Dewan Rakyat]] and the [[Dewan Negara]]) and the [[Istana Negara, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim|Istana Negara]], the official residence of the [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong]] (monarch of Malaysia). Kuala Lumpur was first developed around 1857 as a town serving the [[tin mining|tin mines]] of the region, and important figures such as [[Yap Ah Loy]] and [[Frank Swettenham]] were instrumental in the early development of the city during the late 19th century. It served as the capital of [[Selangor]] from 1880 until 1978. Kuala Lumpur was the founding capital of the [[Federation of Malaya]] and its successor, Malaysia. The city remained the seat of the executive and judicial branches of the [[Malaysian federal government]] until these were relocated to [[Putrajaya]] in early 1999.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gov.my/MyGov/BI/Directory/Government/AboutMsianGov/PutrajayaFederalAdminCapital/|title=Putrajaya – Administrative Capital of Malaysia|publisher=Government of Malaysia|access-date=11 December 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071021194523/http://www.gov.my/MyGov/BI/Directory/Government/AboutMsianGov/PutrajayaFederalAdminCapital/|archive-date=21 October 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, some sections of the political bodies still remain in Kuala Lumpur.

Since the 1990s, the city has played host to many international sporting, political and cultural events, including the [[1998 Commonwealth Games]], [[2001 Southeast Asian Games]], [[2017 Southeast Asian Games]], [[Formula One]], [[Moto GP]] and [[FIFA Youth Championship|FIFA World Youth Championships]]. Kuala Lumpur has undergone rapid development in recent decades and is home to the [[List of tallest twin buildings and structures in the world|tallest twin buildings]] in the world, the [[Petronas Towers]] which have since become an iconic symbol of Malaysian development. Kuala Lumpur is well connected with neighboring urban metro regions such as [[Petaling Jaya]] via the rapidly expanding [[Klang Valley Integrated Transit System]]. Residents of the city can also travel to other parts of [[Peninsular Malaysia]] as well as to [[Kuala Lumpur International Airport]] (KLIA) via rail through [[Kuala Lumpur Sentral station|KL Sentral]].
