Tangkak District Council

The Tangkak District is a district in western Johor, Malaysia, bordering Muar District to the south, Segamat District to the northeast, and Jasin District, Malacca to the west. The district also shares an 11 kilometre border with Tampin District, Negeri Sembilan to the northwest. The district capital and largest settlement is the town of Tangkak. Other towns include Sagil, Sungai Mati and Tanjung Agas.

Geography

Mount Ledang, the prominent landmark of the district. Seen from downtown Tangkak.

Along with Muar, Batu Pahat and Segamat, Tangkak District is one of the districts that constitute the northern part of Johor. The Muar River delineates the boundary with Muar District to its south, from Durian Chondong in the east towards Tanjung Agas on the Malacca Strait coast. To its northeast, the district's famed landmark, Mount Ledang, is situated close to the tripoint between the neighbouring states of Malacca and Negeri Sembilan, where it is the highest point statewide at 1,276 metres (4,186 ft).

History

The district was previously an autonomous sub-district (daerah kecil) covering the north-western part of the Muar District, separated from Muar Town proper by the Muar River.[3] A ceremony headed by the sultan on 9 June 2008 saw the official proclamation of that part becoming Johor's 10th district, then named Ledang District after the eponymous mountain located within its borders.[4] The district was then renamed Tangkak District at the end of 2015 by a decree of Sultan Ibrahim to preserve the historical value of traditional name of places in the state.[5][6][7]
