Machang is one of the ten districts in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia. It is situated at the centre of the state, bordering with Kelantanese territories of Kota Bharu to the north, Pasir Puteh to the east, Tanah Merah to the west and Kuala Krai to the south. Its major town and administrative centre is Bandar Machang.

History

Previously part of Ulu Kelantan,[4] around 1949, Machang was delineated as an autonomous sub-district of Kelantan. Owing to its rapid pace of development and active economic sector, Machang was upgraded as a full District on January 1, 1952.[5] The territory is still largely agrarian, home to a lot of paddy fields, palm and rubber plantations.

The district is the host for the Universiti Teknologi Mara (Machang Branch), 9 national secondary schools, 1 fully residential school, 3 State-Funded Islamic religious school and 20 national primary schools which include a Chinese vernacular national type primary school.
