Tracing Johor’s royal lineage

The urban growth of Iskandar Puteri, renamed Johor Baru, significantly advanced after 1855, transforming it into a modern city with a well-organised administration.

THE JOHOR Sultanate is fundamentally built upon three main dynasties: the Melaka Sultanate Dynasty, the Bendahara Dynasty and the Temenggong Dynasty.

Founded in 1528, the Johor Sultanate was a direct offshoot of Melaka, profoundly influencing Johor’s governance, culture and traditions.
