In 1841, Kuching became the capital of the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Sarawak" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingdom of Sarawak">Kingdom of Sarawak</a> after the territory in the area was ceded to <a href="/wiki/James_Brooke" title="James Brooke">James Brooke</a> for helping the Bruneian empire in crushing a rebellion particularly by the interior Borneo dwelling <a href="/wiki/Bidayuh" title="Bidayuh">Land Dayak</a> people who later became his loyal followers after most of them were pardoned by him and joined his side. The town continued to receive attention and development during the rule of <a href="/wiki/Charles_Brooke,_Rajah_of_Sarawak" title="Charles Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak">Charles Brooke</a> such as the construction of a sanitation system, hospital, prison, fort, and a bazaar. In 1941, the Brooke administration had a Centenary Celebration in Kuching. During <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, Kuching was occupied by Japanese forces from 1942 to 1945. The Japanese government set up a <a href="/wiki/Batu_Lintang_camp" title="Batu Lintang camp">Batu Lintang camp</a> near Kuching to hold prisoners of war and civilian internees. After the war, the town survived intact. However, the last Rajah of Sarawak, <a href="/wiki/Charles_Vyner_Brooke" title="Charles Vyner Brooke">Sir Charles Vyner Brooke</a> decided to cede Sarawak <a href="/wiki/Crown_Colony_of_Sarawak" title="Crown Colony of Sarawak">as part of British Crown Colony</a> in 1946. Kuching remained as capital during the Crown Colony period. After the formation of <a href="/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia">Malaysia</a> in 1963, Kuching retained its status as state capital and was granted city status in 1988. Since then, the Kuching city is divided into two administrative regions managed by two separate local authorities Mohd Azri Bin Subohi.

It was perhaps derived from the <a href="/wiki/Malay_language" title="Malay language">Malay</a> word for cat, "kucing", or from <a href="/wiki/Cochin" class="mw-redirect" title="Cochin">Cochin</a>, an Indian trading port on the <a href="/wiki/Malabar_Coast" title="Malabar Coast">Malabar Coast</a> and a generic term in China and <a href="/wiki/British_India" class="mw-redirect" title="British India">British India</a> for trading harbour.<a href="#cite_note-RingSalkin1996-9">[9]</a> Some Hindu artefacts can be seen today at the <a href="/wiki/Sarawak_State_Museum" title="Sarawak State Museum">Sarawak State Museum</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Kuchingname-16">[16]</a> However, another source reported that the Kuching city was previously known as "Sarawak" before Brooke arrived. The settlement was renamed to "Sarawak proper" during the kingdom expansion. It was only in 1872 that <a href="/wiki/Charles_Brooke,_Rajah_of_Sarawak" title="Charles Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak">Charles Brooke</a> renamed the settlement to "Kuching".<a href="#cite_note-Kuchingname-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> There was one unlikely theory based on a story on miscommunication. According to the story, James Brooke arrived in Kuching on his yacht Royalist. He then asked his local guide about the name of the town. The local guide mistakenly thought that Brooke was pointing towards a cat, and so had said the word "Kuching". However, ethnic Malays in Sarawak have always used the term "pusak" for cats (cognate with <a href="/wiki/Tagalog_language" title="Tagalog language">Filipino</a> pusa), instead of the standard Malay word "kucing" (cognate with Filipino kuting which refers to kittens).<a href="#cite_note-Kuchingname-16">[16]</a> Despite this etymological discrepancy, Sarawakians have adopted the animal as a symbol of their city, and it features in statues as well as the municipal council's <a href="/wiki/Coat_of_arms" title="Coat of arms">coat of arms</a> - an example of heraldic <a href="/wiki/Canting_arms" title="Canting arms">canting</a>. Some source also stated that it was derived from a fruit called "mata kucing" (Euphoria malaiense),<a href="#cite_note-18">[note 1]</a><a href="#cite_note-etymology-19">[note 2]</a> a fruit that grows widely in Malaysia and Indonesia.<a href="#cite_note-20">[18]</a> There was also a hill in the city that was named after the fruit, which is called Bukit Mata Kuching. <a href="/wiki/Harriette_McDougall" title="Harriette McDougall">Harriette McDougall</a> writing to her son in the 19th century, stated that the name was derived from a stream of the same name, called "Sungai Kuching" or Cat River in English.<a href="#cite_note-RingSalkin1996-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-21">[19]</a> On page 64 of Bampfylde and Baring-Gould's 1909 'A History of Sarawak under its Two White Rajahs', it says: "Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, is so called from a small stream that runs through the town into the main river...." The stream was situated at the foot of Bukit Mata Kuching and in front of the Tua Pek Kong Temple. In the 1950s, the river became very shallow because of silt deposits in the river. The river was later filled to make way for roads.<a href="#cite_note-Kuchingname-16">[16]</a> There is another theory that Kuching actually means "Ku" (古)- Old and "Ching" (井) - Well or "old well" (古井) in Chinese. During the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Sarawak" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingdom of Sarawak">Brooke administration</a>, there was no water supply and water-borne diseases were common. In 1888, an epidemic broke out which later was known as "Great Cholera Epidemic". A well situated in the present day China Street in Main Bazaar helped to combat the disease by providing clean water supply. Due to increased demand for a water supply, the role of the well was later replaced by water treatment plant on the Bau Road.<a href="#cite_note-Kuchingname-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[20]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kuching&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Sultanate_of_Sarawak" title="Sultanate of Sarawak">Sultanate of Sarawak</a></div><figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:James_Brooke_photo.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/James_Brooke_photo.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="177" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="150" data-file-height="177" /></a><figcaption>Kuching was later established as the seat of Brooke government under the management of <a href="/wiki/James_Brooke" title="James Brooke">James Brooke</a>.</figcaption></figure> Sarawak was part of the <a href="/wiki/Bruneian_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Bruneian Empire">Bruneian Empire</a> since the reign of first Brunei sultanate, <a href="/wiki/Muhammad_Shah_of_Brunei" title="Muhammad Shah of Brunei">Sultan Muhammad Shah</a>.
