This place has two names, Setul and Mantin. Setul is the name of a certain plant. Setul was a town with a police station. It is not at the present town of Mantin but at the 8th mile towards Seremban. The name Setul is still in use, in grants and licenses of land, e.g. Mukim Setul, not Mukim of Mantin. The town of Setul was transferred to Mantin. The present name of Mantin is well known for its tin mine owned by a Chinese towkay, Kong Sang. The Europeans called the place 'Mine Tin' while the Malays called it 'Mantin' as tin ore was plentiful in the area. The residents of the place could not say 'Mine Tin' correctly and said Mantin instead.
