Negeri Sembilan derived its name from nine districts that constitute the state (a nine-state in the Malay language). It is the earliest settlement site of the Minangkabau migrants from Sumatra. Many of the buildings in the state have incorporated the unique Minangkabau architecture, with its buffalo-horn shaped roof peaks.
