The term 'Pahang' in referring to the kingdom thus, is thought to originate from the name of. There have been many theories on the origin of the name. According to Malay legend, across the river at Kampung Kembahang where the present stream of the Pahang parts company with the Pahang Tua, in ancient time stretched a huge mahang tree ( ) from which the river and kingdom derived their name. This legend agrees with oral tradition among that say their forefathers called the country Mahang. Other notable theory was espoused by William Linehan, that relates the early foundation of the kingdom to the settlers from ancient civilisation, and claims its naming origin to the word saamnbahang (: សំណប៉ាហាំង) meaning 'tin', based on the discovery of prehistoric tin mines in the state.

There were many variations of the name Pahang in history. The referred to the kingdom as Pohuang or Panhuang. The Chinese chronicler knew it as Pong-fong. According to the continuation of 's, Pahang was called Siam-lao thasi. By Arabs and Europeans, the kingdom was variously styled Pam, Pan, Paam, Paon, Phaan, Phang, Paham, Pahan, Pahaun, Phaung, Phahangh. 5–15th century 1470–1623 1623–1770 1770–1881 1895–1941 1942–1945 1946–1948 1948–1963 1963–present Prehistory [ ] Archaeological evidences revealed the existence of human habitation in the area that is today Pahang from as early as the age. At Gunung Senyum have been found relics of mesolithic civilisation using pleolithic implements.

At,, have been discovered paleolithic artefacts chipped and without trace of polishing, the remains of a 6,000 years old civilisation. Traces of culture is represented by a number of limestone cave sites. Late relics are abundant, including polished tools, quoit discs, stone ear pendants, stone bracelets and cross-hatched bark pounders. By around 400 BC, the development of bronze casting led to the flourishing of the, notably for its elaborate.

The early in Pahang that began around the beginning of is associated by prehistorians with the late neolithic culture. Relics from this era, found along the rivers are particularly numerous in Tembeling Valley, which served as the old main northern highway of communication. Ancient in Pahang are thought to date back to this early iron age as well. Old kingdom [ ].

The 17th century based on the early 15th century navigation maps of showing estuary (彭杭港), Pulau Siribuat (石礁) and (苧麻山). The region of the and its peripheries are recognised by historians as the cradle of Malayic civilisations. Primordial Malayic kingdoms are described as tributaries to by the 2nd century Chinese sources. Ancient settlements in Pahang can be traced from Tembeling to as far south as Merchong.

Their tracks can also be found in deep hinterland of Jelai, along the, and up to the head-waters of the. One such settlement was identified as Koli in or Kiu-Li, centred on the estuary of south of, that flourished in the 3rd Century CE. It possessed an important international port, where many foreign ships stopped to barter and resupply. By the middle of the 5th century, a polity suggestive as ancient Pahang, was described in the as Pohuang or Panhuang (婆皇). The king of Pohuang, She-li- Po-luo-ba-mo ('Sri Bhadravarman') was recorded to have sent an envoy to the court in 449-450. In 456-457, another envoy of the same country arrived at the Chinese capital,. This ancient Pahang is believed to had been established later as a to the of - centred in modern-day region that rose to prominence with the regression of Funan from the 6th century.

By the beginning of the 8th century, Langkasuka-Kedah was in turn came under the military and political hegemony of. In the 11th century, the power vacuum left by the collapse of Srivijaya was filled by the rise of, commonly known in Malay tradition as 'Ligor'.

During this period, Pahang, designated as Muaeng Pahang was established as one of the twelve of Ligor. In the 14th century, Pahang began consolidating its influence in the southern part of the Malay peninsula.

The kingdom, described by Portuguese historian, as Pam, was one of the two kingdoms of in the peninsula, in succession to, that flourished before the establishment of. The Pahang ruler then, titled Maharaja, was also the overlord of countries of Ujong Tanah ('land's end'), the southerly part of the peninsula including. The Majapahit chronicle, even used the name Pahang to designate the, an indication of the importance of this kingdom.

The records several envoy missions from Pahang to the Ming court in the 14th and 15th centuries. In the year 1378, Maharaja Tajau sent envoys with a letter on a gold leaf and bringing as tribute six foreign slaves and products of the country. In the year 1411, during the reign of Maharaja Pa-la-mi-so-la-ta-lo-si-ni (transliterated by historian as 'Parameswara Teluk Chini'), he also sent envoys carrying tributes. Old sultanate [ ].

The Old Pahang Sultanate centred in modern-day was established in the 15th century. At the height of its influence, the Sultanate was an important power in Southeast Asian history and controlled the entire Pahang basin, bordering to the north, the, and adjoins to that of to the south.

To the west, it also extends jurisdiction over part of modern-day and. The sultanate has its origin as a vassal to, with its first Sultan was a Melakan prince,, himself the grandson of, the last pre-Melakan ruler of. Over the years, Pahang grew independent from Melakan control and at one point even established itself as a rival state to Melaka until the latter's. In 1528, the last Sultan of Melaka, died. Pahang joined forces with his successor, who established himself in Johor to expel the Portuguese from the Malay Peninsula.

Two attempts were made in 1547 at and in 1551. However, in the face of superior Portuguese arms and vessels, the Pahang and Johor forces were forced to retreat on both occasions. During the reign of Sultan, Pahang enjoyed a brief period of cordial relations with the Portuguese. However, this relationship was discontinued by his successor, Sultan. The next ruler, Sultan attacked the Portuguese and simultaneously challenged the Dutch presence in the. Nevertheless, in 1607, Pahang not only tolerated the, but, following a visit by, even cooperated with them in an attempt to get rid of the Portuguese.

The Sultan tried to reforge the Johor-Pahang alliance to assist the Dutch. However, a quarrel which erupted between Sultan Abdul Ghafur and, resulted in Johor declaring war on Pahang in 1612. With the aid of Sultan of, Pahang eventually defeated Johor in 1613. Sultan Abdul Ghafur's son, succeeded the throne in 1614.

In 1615, the under invaded Pahang, forcing Alauddin Riayat Shah to retreat into the interiors. He nevertheless continued to exercise some ruling powers. His reign in exile is considered officially ended after the installation of a distant relative, to the Pahang throne in 1615, with the support of the Portuguese following a pact between the Portuguese and Sultan of Johor. Raja Bujang who reigned as Abdul Jalil Shah was eventually deposed in the Acehnese invasion in 1617, but restored to the Pahang throne and also installed as the new following the death of his uncle, in 1623.

This event led to the union of the crown of Pahang and Johor, and the formal establishment of. Modern history [ ].

And his attendants circa 1897. The ruler seized the Pahang throne in 1863 after six years of against his brother and his - allies. His reign marked the restoration of Pahang as a Sultanate and modernisation of the state. The modern Pahang kingdom came into existence with the consolidation of power by the in Pahang, following the gradual dismemberment of.

A self-rule was established in Pahang in the late 18th century, with declared as the first Raja Bendahara. The area around Pahang formed a part of the hereditary domains attached to this title and administered directly by the.

The weakening of the Johor sultanate and the disputed succession to the throne was matched by an increasing independence of the great territorial magnates; the in Pahang, the in Johor and Singapore, and the Yamtuan Muda in Riau. In 1853, the fourth Raja Bendahara, renounced his allegiance to the Sultan of Johor and became independent ruler of Pahang. He was able to maintain peace and stability during his reign, but his death in 1857 precipitated civil war between his sons. The younger son challenged the succession of his half-brother, in a dispute that escalated into a.

Supported by the neighbouring and the Siamese, Wan Ahmad emerged victorious, establishing controls over important towns and expelled his brother in 1863. He served as the last Raja Bendahara, and was proclaimed by his chiefs in 1881. Due to internal strife within Pahang, the British pressured Sultan Ahmad to acquiesce to the presence of a British adviser. Aided by Sultan and William Fraser of the Pahang Mining Company, they succeeded in convincing Sultan Ahmad to accept a British agent,, in December 1887.

In October 1888, Sultan Ahmad reluctantly accepted as Pahang's first Resident. Following the intervention, Sultan Ahmad became a Ruler-in-Council and acted in accordance with the advice of the British Resident and the State Council, except in matters pertaining Islam and Malay customs. Taxes were to be collected in the name of the Sultan by the Resident, with the assistance of European officers. Between 1890 and 1895,, the Orang Kaya Setia Perkasa Pahlawan of Semantan, and, the Orang Kaya Imam Perang Indera Gajah of Pulau Tawar, led a revolt against the British encroachment. Sultan Ahmad appeared to be co-operating with the British, but his sympathies were known for the dissidents. By 1895 the revolt was suppressed by the British and many of the dissidents surrendered.

In July 1895, Sultan Ahmad signed the Federation Agreement, which made Pahang, alongside with, and, one of the, the protectorate state of the. This had effectively reduced the Sultan's powers and authority, as did the creation of Federal Council in 1909.

The executive and legislative functions of the State Council became increasingly nominal. Like other, Pahang suffered during the until the year 1945. During the Japanese Occupation, the reigning Sultan opened a large potato plantation behind the Terentang Palace to help ease the food shortage and he personally approved proposals to form the, an underground Malay resistance force.

The Sultan spent the final days of the Occupation in a jungle hideout with members of, resistance fighters and refugees. In late 1945, to mark the decommissioning of the Askar Wataniah, the troops paraded through and submitted to a royal inspection, after which they were feted at the Sa'adah Palace with what has been called 'the first of the liberation'. During his reign, Sultan Abu Bakar revived the office of State Mufti and established the Pahang Islamic and Malay Customs Council. The state's administrative capital, which was established in during British intervention, was moved to. After the, Pahang formed the with other eight and two Malacca and Penang in 1948.

Total forest in Pahang is about 2,367,000 ha (66% of the land are), of which 89% is a dryland forest, 10% peat swamp forest, and 1%. About 56% of the total forest is within the Permanent Forest Estate. This includes almost the full range of forest types found in Malaysia, although some of the unusual types, heath forest or forest on ultrabasic rocks, exist only in tiny areas of Pahang. The totally protected forest within and includes small areas of extreme lowland alluvial plains. Elsewhere, most of the dryland forest in Pahang is on steep slopes and therefore has both catchment protection and slope protection functions. Virtually every species of and known from Peninsula Malaysia has been recorded in Pahang, other than a few confined to the north of the country or the west coast.

The representation of montane species of plants and animals is particularly numerous. Peaks within Taman Negara,, and peaks along the, with different endemic species in each of these montane regions are located in Pahang. The large forest blocks of the west and northeast support nationally important populations of big mammals and other fauna, and act as a unit with Taman Negara.

Rich in wildlife and vegetation, the lakes provide an ecosystem which supports not only a diversity of animal and plant life, but sustains the livelihood of the, the aboriginal people inhabiting the wetlands.

Most of the coastline is sandy, with rocky headlands at intervals. And swamps are confined to estuaries and do not occur along the exposed coast.

These estuaries can be seasonally important to fishermen when rough weather prevents fishing at sea. There are limited areas of hard and soft coral offshore, which have been mapped togethere with coastal features. There are many islands off the east coast, the largest being and Seri Buat islands. Besides the island populations of fauna and flora, which sometimes differ genetically from mainland forms of the same species, these islands are of value for the reefs and other bottom features which support marine biological diversity. The reefs in particular are sensitive to sedimentation from activities on land. These features are related to the maintenance of marine fisheries, an important sector of the coastal economy.
