History

Kinta District was once famous for its tin, being one of the major tin producers in the 18th century.

Administrative divisions

Kinta District is divided into 5 mukims, which are:

  • Belanja
  • Sungai Raia
  • Sungai Terap
  • Tanjung Tualang
  • Hulu Kinta

    • Government

    Kinta District is divided into two major councils:

  • Ipoh City Council (Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh), based in Ipoh, the state capital of Perak
  • Batu Gajah District Council (Majlis Daerah Batu Gajah), based in the town of Batu Gajah

    • According to population growth, the District Council (Majlis Daerah) can be enlarged to Municipal Council (Majlis Perbandaran) and finally to City Council (Majlis Bandaraya). In Malaysia, there are only three cities administered by City Hall, in Kuala Lumpur, Kuching North (Kuching Utara) and Kota Kinabalu. Other cities in the country are administered by City Council (Majlis Bandaraya).
