 ===== 1896-03: Pembukaan West Country Estate =====
-Pada bulan Februari 1896, pemangku pegawai daerah Ulu Langat telah menerima beberapa permohonan pembukaan ladang kopi di sekitar Jalan Reko. Beliau turut mengesyorkan agar pihak kerajaan mewartakan keseluruhan kawasan hutan terbiar di situ sebagai tanah rizab perladangan: //"The Acting D.O., Ulu Langat, writes: 'Several applications have been sent in for waste land on the right bank of the Langat River off the Rekoh Road. There seems little doubt that the land applied for together with a great extent of waste land south of the proposed Klang-Kajang Road, forms part of an all but continuous alluvial plain which stretches down to join the Klang planting reserve on the side of the Langat Road; and if this should prove to be the case, it is greatly to be hoped that the Government will see its way to reserving the whole plain for coffee planters, as it is at present entirely waste, contains no mining land, and is the only portion of the district which is in the smallest degree suitable for a planting reserve.'"// (The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (Weekly), 25 February 1896, Page 14: {{ :akhbar:singfreepresswk18960225-1-2-83.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/singfreepresswk18960225-1.2.83|"SELANGOR NOTES"]]).

 Pada bulan Mac 1896, penama-penama bagi permohonan ladang-ladang tersebut telah disiarkan, iaitu F. Baptist (F.B.) Hicks, [[e_b_skinner|E. B. Skinner]], Arthur Acland (A.A.) Allen, dan E.J. Allen ([[west_country_estate|West Country Estate]]), G.F.S. dan [[m_s_parry|Methold Sidney (M. S.) Parry]] ([[belmont_estate|Belmont Estate)]], dan Kindersley ([[ladang_kindersley|Reko Hill dan Sungai Reko Estate, diikuti beberapa lagi ladang lain)]]: //"Regarding planting in Ulu Langat, Selangor, Mr. Skeat writes in his report: 'The outlook as regards the development of the district by European planters is, on the other hand, most encouraging, and it is greatly to be hoped that the present year will see coffee planting started in earnest on a large scale. Four applications for 320 acres each were received from Messrs. F.B. Hicks, E.B. Skinner, A.A. Allen, and E.J Allen, and two more applications, also for 320 acres each, from Messrs. G.F.S. and M. Sidney Parry, whilst a previous application from Messrs. Kindersley for 320 acres on the Rekoh Road has been granted. The land embraced by the first six applications is a tract upon the right geographical bank of the Langat River, in the neighbourhood of Merbau Tumbang and Bukit Tempurong. It forms the upper end of the broad alluvial flats which stretch, roughly speaking, from the Langat River at Rekoh to the Langat Road at Klang, and merge into the coffee reserve in Klang District. When it is once thoroughly drained and roaded, it should include an abundance of excellent coffee land from which selections cloud be made by intending planters, and it would therefore prove no small advantage if a continuous coffee reserve, running through the two districts, could be proclaimed by the Government.'"// (The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (Weekly), 17 March 1896, Page 13: {{ :akhbar:singfreepresswk18960317-1-2-78.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/singfreepresswk18960317-1.2.78|"COFFEE PLANTING IN THE LANGAT DISTRICT"]]).

The Kindersleys owned Balgownie, Inch Kenneth, and Bangi estates. In 1898 Lau Boon Tit opened Semenyih estate, which was later acquired by the Asiatic Rubber Produce Company. Lau 'went for broke' in planting 54 acres of rubber in 1898. A few years later, the FMS Rubber Co. owned West Country, Belmont, and Ayer Hitam estates, and E. V. Carey, chair- man of the Selangor Planters' Association, opened Paradise estate. Thus, for the first time, Ulu Langat became a flourishing 'planting district'. It was a turning point."// ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._M._Gullick|J.M.

 //"I was born in West Country Rubber Estate, Hulu Langat, Kajang in 1949 where I spent my early life until the age of ten. ... I stopped schooling after completing Standard 6 and started working on West Country Estate. At about this time, my eldest brother had passed away and my parents needed the extra income that I was bringing in. My most unforgettable memory of my early working days was when I was a member of the West Country Barat football team. We would participate in the local league and play against the teams from Bangi Estate, Perang Besar Estate, Galloway Estate, JKR, Kajang Old Boys and Empat Tenang Estate at the old Kajang Stadium. The Estate management keenly supported the football team and on match days, we would get a half-day off. We would deck out in our football finery to meet the opposing team at the Kajang Stadium. At that time, it was just a large open field right next to the Police Station. The commercial centre of Kajang town lay on the other side of the field. There was a bus service operating from Kajang town to Perang Besar Estate, passing by West Country Estate. The Sum Bus Service was our link to Kajang town with the assorted attractions that a town had to offer a rural resident."// (Munaianty s/o Ponnusamy @ Tanarata International Schools, 2013: [[https://www.thestar.com.my/news/community/2014/12/02/penning-down-the-past-school-in-kajang-publishes-book-on-towns-history-its-people-buildings-and-nota|Kajang and Its Surrounds]], m.s.26-27).
