The capital of Sarawak, Malaysia's Borneo state. It is located in the northwest of the state, 31 km upstream from the mouth of the Sarawak River, which flows into Datu Bay. Population: 152,310 (2000). It has long been a strategic location on the north coast of Borneo, but it developed rapidly after James Brooke established the Sarawak Kingdom in 1841 and made it its capital. The city is a major exporter of forest products and oil from the hinterland, and Kuching Wharf, completed in 1974, can accommodate ships of up to 15,000 tons. There is a daily scheduled flight between Kuala Lumpur and the city. The Sarawak Museum is known for its biological specimens.
