Historical Background:
The name Pasir Gudang originated from the existence of a sand mine at Kampung Ulu. Sand or 'pasir' in Malay was mined and stocked in sand pits/stores (or 'gudang' in Malay) before it was exported to Singapore, hence the name 'Pasir Gudang'. Pasir Gudang was initially an agricultural area in the early 20th century. In 1969, FELDA land schemes were founded in the Pasir Gudang area. To further develop the western part of Johor, the State Government converted the estate lands into industrial and housing areas in order to develop Pasir Gudang into an industrial area.
