Puchong is a major town in the Petaling district of Selangor, Malaysia. The town used to be a rubber estate and tin-mining town in the 1960s. During 1980s, Puchong consisted of only one two-lane road running through estates and villages. Since then, urbanization has occurred rapidly with many industrial parks, commercial centres and residential areas mushrooming along Jalan Puchong.
It is strategically located to nearby major cities and townships such as Subang Jaya, UEP Subang Jaya, Bandar Sunway and other parts of Petaling Jaya.
uchong is situated midway between Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s political capital, and Putrajaya, the administrative capital. Due to its location, Puchong is expected to witness further developments in the near future. Puchong is already serving as a residential town for three major cities, Kuala Lumpur, Subang Jaya and Petaling Jaya.
New townships, such as Bandar Puchong Jaya, Pusat Bandar Puchong, Puchong Hartamas, Puchong Utama, Puchong Prima, Bandar Bukit Puchong, Saujana Puchong and Bandar Puteri Puchong, are sprouting from the once-abandoned lands, former plantations and cleared-forest areas, contributing to the population boom witnessed in recent years in Puchong. At an estimate, Puchong has a population of about 335,419 (the largest township is Puchong Jaya with a population of about 39,473).
Puchong is under the jurisdiction of two local authorities, that is the Subang Jaya Municipal Council and the Sepang Municipal Council.
