Kota Kinabalu (pronounced [ˈkota kinaˈbalu], formerly Jesselton, is the capital of Sabah state in Malaysia. It is also the capital of the West Coast Division of Sabah. The city is located on the northwest coast of Borneo facing the South China Sea.
Earliest Origins Kota Kinabalu’s earliest origins can be traced to the late 1800’s, when the British North Borneo Company started setting up colonies all over the North Borneo region that is now the State of Sabah. The original settlement in the area was on the Gaya Island, which was inhabited by the Bajau people. The Borneo Company termed their settlement Gaya Bay, and had to face the wrath and rebellion of the Bajau tribe, led by their leader Mat Salleh. After the uprising, the company made a decision to move base to the Api Api fishing village, in a location that was easier to defend than the earlier spot. The brand new settlement soon rose to the status of the prime harbor, port and terminus of the North Borneo Railway. The port was named Jesselton in honor of Sir Charles Jessel, the presiding Vice Chairman of the North Borneo Company.
Kota Kinabalu’s Rise as a Trade Center Jesselton (now Kota Kinabalu) was soon catapulted into the league of important commercial trading centers in southeast Asia. It traded in honey, rubber, rattan crafts and wax. The new railway network helped in strengthening the commerce of the region, by transporting goods to the main Jesselton Harbor. With a burgeoning trade identity, the officers had to contend with increasing piracy in the region, and there were also several revolts by the local Bajaus against the company during this period
World War II Jessleton was completely destroyed by the British during the early stages of World War II, to thwart attempts by the Japanese to capture it. The Japanese forces still managed to lay their hands on the region and restored and re-named it Api again. There have been innumerable chronicled incidents about rebellion against the Japanese forces by locals. The most significant was by the Kinabalu Guerrillas in 1943 lead by Albert Kwok, a rising local leader. The revolt was suppressed by the well-armed Japanese soldiers, and Kwok was jailed and executed in 1944. The allied bombings of the Borneo Campaign destroyed the region completely, and only a couple of buildings still stood in the town. On September 10, 1945, the Japanese 37th Army, led by Lieutenant General Baba Masao, officially surrendered in Labuan and ended the conflict in North Borneo. Kota Kinabalu has a history of intense colonization, conflicts and rebellions, owing to the fact that it was a very significant commercial trading center.

Sabah is the second largest state in Malaysia is situated at the northern part of the island of Borneo, the third largest island in the world and it also is one of the thirteen states which Malaysia is made of and shares the island of Borneo with Sarawak, Brunei and Indonesian Kalimantan.
Kota Kinabalu, formerly Jesselton, is the capital of Sabah state in Malaysia. It is also the West Coast Division of Sabah. The city is located on the northwest coast of Borneo facing the South China Sea. The Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park lies on one side and Mount Kinabalu, which gave the city it’s name, nearby. Kota Kinabalu proper has a population of 900,000. It is the largest urban centre in Sabah.
By the 9th century AD., Sabah, then under various chieftains, traded with China and later the Spanish and Portuguese. During the 15th century, Sabah was a vassal of the Sultan of Brunei. In 1521 Ferdinand Magellan's ships sailed into Brunei Bay and later repaired their vessels in Banggi and Balambangan, islands in the very north of Sabah. In 1704, the Sultan of Brunei ceded the lands east of Marudu Bay to the Sultan of Sulu, while the west coast remained under his rule.
The Sultans of Brunei and Sulu exercised a nominal control over north Borneo, especially the coasts, while headhunters roamed the forests and pirates infested the seas. The headhunters were Kadazandusun, as well as Murut tribesmen, and of the two the Kadazandusun were the first to give up headhunting. The pirates were Illanun, Iranum, Balanini, Obian, Bajau and Suluk living in the Southern Philippines and on islands off the coast of North Borneo. Their vessels were of large size, mostly out-triggered, measuring approximately ninety feet long and heavily armed. In Sabah, their strongest lairs were in Marudu Bay and the Tunku Island near present day Kota Kinabalu.
In 1685 the first Englishman visited Sabah. It was Captain Cowley, and he visited the islands on the northern end of Borneo (Banggi, Balambangan).
In the 1760’s Alexander Dalrymple and James Rennell came to Borneo and mentioned Sabah.
In 1773 the East India Company founded a trading post on Balambangan Island, but two years later the settlement was attacked and destroyed by pirates.
It was not until Raja Brooke of Sarawak, with his personal contacts to the Sultan of Brunei, persuaded the Government to suppress piracy and in 1846 the Sultan of Brunei ceded Labuan Island off Sabah's south-west coast to serve as a base for the anti-piracy operations of the British. The last pirate stronghold in Sabah, at Tunku Islands, was destroyed in 1879.
