Hulu Selangor: Condos, Apartments and Area Guide

Hulu Selangor has existed since the Federated Malay States, when it was spelt Ulu Selangor (DOSM still uses that name). Nearly half of it is hills and forest reserve, with the Titiwangsa range along the Pahang border. The Hulu Selangor Municipal Council has run the whole district since 1 January 1977. Rawang was part of the district until Gombak was created in 1974, which left Serendah, Bukit Beruntung and Sungai Buaya in Hulu Selangor.

Industry is growing in the south: Perodua has its head office in Serendah, and UMW is building a High-Value Manufacturing Park there. Batang Kali is a transit town for Genting Highlands, and Kuala Kubu Bharu is the gateway to Fraser's Hill.
