The first settlement in Kajang was established in 1709. In 1807, Kajang was founded after the Klang War. Because of its central location, it was made the district capital of Hulu Langat.Kajang as a modern town owes its rise in particular to the coffee estates which were opened up around it in the 1890s. One of the famous coffee estates was Inch Kenneth Estate managed by the Kindersley brothers who were among the first to plant rubber in the country on a commercial basis. Another was Perang Besar (Great War) Estate, opened by some British ex-servicemen led by Colonel Henry Gough, who was the pioneer of bud-grafting of rubber trees in the country.
Kajang is a small town where by we can smell the special satay aroma that has made from the famous place.

Yu Hua is my primery & secondary school. Yu Hua Secondary School completed in 1968.Before 1917,there was a very small Chinese school named Boon Hua which was attached to the Merchant Club of Main Street, Kajang. As the number of pupils increased, it then shifted to two shophouses in Nos.2 & 4, Sulaiman Street and officially became an independent school - the former body of Yu Hua School.
When Boon Hua was offivially founded, its first chairman, Mr.Low Ti Kok and the headmaster, Mr.Tan Yi Hoh, applied for a piece of land as site for the permanent school building. With invaluable help of the commitee members, the new school building was completed in 1918 along Jalan Low Ti Kok; and, was then renamed Yu Hua School. The new building was occupied in 1919.
Construction of New Block will commence in December 2005 right after the SPM exams. The demolition of the old Block that stood the test of time will mark the end of an era. We will post pictures of the old Living Skills (KH) & Domestic Science block for your viewing. 7 years ago from 2008, SMJK Yu Hua been developed dramatically and many things has changed. Nowadays, Yu Hua students been provided a lots of facilities from the school. There are total of 5 science laboratories, a well-managed library, a reference room, computer room, 4 lecture halls, 4 garages, an Art room, a huge hall which consist of 6 badminton courts, basketball court, volleyball court and a few lovely gardens with various types of flowers .
