The Kubang Pasu District is a district in northern Kedah, Malaysia. It contains the border town of Bukit Kayu Hitam as well as the educational hub of Changlun while Jitra is the largest town and administrative centre of the district. The district council was then upgraded into a municipal council on 22 October 2018, becoming the fifth local government authority with city or municipality status in the state of Kedah.

## History

[edit]

In the 19th century Kubang Pasu was a semi-independent kingdom known as the Kubang Pasu Darul Qiyam, ruled by Phaya or King Tunku Anom, Prince of Kedah. It was reintegrated into Kedah proper in the 1860s.

On 22 October 2018, Kubang Pasu was granted municipal status; the erstwhile district council was upgraded into a municipal council (Majlis Perbandaran Kubang Pasu).[3]

## Geography

[edit]

The district spans over an area of 948 km2. To the west it borders Perlis, while its northern boundary forms part of the Malaysia–Thailand border. From east to south, in clockwise order, are the constituencies of Padang Terap, Pokok Sena and Kuala Kedah.
