Mukim Renggam is one of the eight official mukims in Kluang District, Johor. Located in the southwest part of the district, it serves as a rural township and agricultural hub under the administration of Majlis Daerah Simpang Renggam (MDSR). Known for its historic railway station, large plantations, and FELDA presence, Mukim Renggam balances heritage with rural development.
Formation & Historical Background
The town of Renggam was established during the British colonial period as a railway station town along the KTM West Coast Line.
Its fertile land attracted European-owned rubber and pineapple plantations, some of which still exist today.
Post-independence, areas around Renggam were developed through FELDA schemes and rural settlements to support the national agriculture agenda.
Mukim Renggam today is a blend of historical townships, Malay kampungs, FELDA communities, and plantation-based estates.
