The Kangchu system was a socio-economic system of organization and administration developed by Chinese agricultural settlers in Johor during the 19th century. The settlers organized themselves into informal associations (similar to the Kongsi organizations found in other Chinese communities), and chose a leader from among themselves. In Chinese, "Kangchu" (Chinese: 港主, Pinyin: Gáng Zhǔ, Teochew: Kaang6 Zhu8) literally means ‘lord of the river’, and was the title given to the Chinese headmen of these river settlements. The "Kangchu" leaders are also called "Kapitan".
