Port Dickson: Condos, Apartments and Area Guide

The town was once called Arang, after the charcoal made here. The British built a small port, and the town took the name of an officer called Dickson; some say it was John Frederick Dickson, who founded it in 1889. The area, with Lukut, was once part of Selangor. The army has had camps here since 1933.

Two oil refineries, run by Hengyuan and Petron, are a big part of the local economy, next to tourism. Many hotels and resort apartments were built in the 1990s. Some were left unfinished after the 1997 financial crisis. The town is run by the Port Dickson Municipal Council (MPPD).
