The Administrative and Economic Core of Kluang District
Mukim Kluang is the central sub-district (mukim) in Kluang District, Johor. It is the most urbanized, developed, and densely populated area within the district. This mukim encompasses Kluang Town (Bandar Kluang), which acts as the district capital, and includes a wide range of residential, commercial, industrial, and government facilities.
Formation & Background
Mukim Kluang has grown around the KTM railway line, where Kluang Town was developed in the early 20th century.
The area became an administrative center due to its central location and rail accessibility, serving as a strategic hub during both the colonial era and modern Malaysia.
The town and surrounding settlements later developed into full-fledged urban zones, industrial parks, and residential neighborhoods.
