context_section_description: The name "Kuala Linggi" was derived from a river’s name. It is due to the location of the village at Kuala Sungai Linggi that it was named Kampung Sungai Linggi. (Linggi means 'stem' in Bugis and refers to the strongest vertical plate at the bow of a ship.) Strategically located in an area capable of monitoring the incoming and outgoing river traffic in the past, a fort was built at Kampung Kuala Linggi.
  "The fort was named Kota Kuala Linggi. It represented a fortress atop the Bukit Supai (Sepoy’s Hill). It was erected by the Dutch and Bugis soldiers as a sign of friendship after a war which took place from 1756 until 1757."
  Kota Kuala Linggi was a fort on the summit of Bukit Supai (Sepoy’s Hill). It was built by the Dutch and Bugis soldiers as a sign of peace after the war which had taken place in 1756 until 1757. Besides being known as "Supai Fort", it was also known as For Filiphina, after the name of the Dutch Governor’s daughter at that time.
  Based on history, the agreement between the Dutch and Bugis soldiers took place on 1 January 1758. This agreement empowered the Dutch control over the Linggi area and the tin trading. The square shaped fort was erected from an arrangement of laterite stones. For defense, a semi circle was made at each corner of the fort where cannons were placed.
