Linggi is a small town in Port Dickson District, Negri Sembilan. The town is near to Rembau District, and also close to the border with Malacca. As with many of the towns on the west coast of the Malay peninsula, Linggi was first settled by people of the Malay stock from other parts of the archipelago.
In the case of Linggi, the earliest settlers were Bugis seafarers who are said to have been ejected from their homeland following Dutch conquest of Sulawesi. They settled in groups along the west coast of Malaya, in parts of present-day Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Selangor and southern Perak. Their presence is strongest in Selangor, where they established themselves as the ruling class.
In Linggi, in southern Negri Sembilan, they established a settlement. The name Linggi means settlement in Bugis. The settlement is beside a river of the same name. It forms the border between Malacca and Negri Sembilan for part of the way before discharging into the Straits of Malacca. On the Negri Sembilan side of the estuary is a headland called Tanjung Agas while on the Malacca side is Kuala Linggi.
