Kluang

Kluang, formerly spelled Keluang, is a town and the district capital of Kluang District in Johor, Malaysia. It was founded in 1915 by the British as the administrative capital for central Johor and stands in the central geographical core of the state, within a 90-minute drive of major urban hubs across Johor. Through the 20th century its agricultural economy moved from natural rubber to large-scale palm oil production, and in recent decades it has developed an organic farming sector and ecotourism sites such as Zenxin Organic Park, UK Agro Farm and Kahang Organic Eco Rice Farm. The district also has a significant industrial base in ceramic tile manufacturing, which earned the town its reputation as the tile capital of Malaysia.
