Negeri Sembilan, Malaysian state in western Peninsular Malaysia.
Negeri Sembilan is a Malaysian state in the western part of Peninsular Malaysia, located between Kuala Lumpur and the coast of the Malacca Strait. The territory covers coastal lowlands in the west and forested mountain ranges in the east.
The region developed into an important center for tin mining in the late 19th century, which led to incorporation into British colonial structures. Immigrants from Sumatra had already shaped the social and political structures centuries earlier.
The name derives from nine historical districts that joined together to form one region. Visitors today see Minangkabau influence in the architecture of public buildings and in museums across the larger towns.
Seremban is the capital and the central starting point for exploring the entire region. Roads and trains connect the main towns with neighboring regions to the north and south.
The region follows a matrilineal system in which property and land ownership are traditionally passed down through the female line. This practice differs notably from the usual structures in most other parts of the country.
