Kuala Lumpur was declared a city on 1 February 1972 while the Federal Territory (FT) Ministry was established in 1978.

The Putrajaya Corporation was set up on 1 February 2001.

On 27 March 2004, following a cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the Federal Territory and Klang Valley Planning and Development Division was upgraded to a full-fledged ministry. Its responsibility expanded to include jurisdiction over the territories of Labuan and Putrajaya.

On 14 February 2006, Zulhasnan Rafique was appointed FT Minister. Under the leadership of Rafique, a strategic plan that focused on development plans for all three constituencies was created.

On 23 October 2009, when the 2010 Budget presentation, Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that the functions and responsibilities of the Ministry of Federal Territories strengthened and expanded to eradicate urban poverty throughout the country and city welfare program. In this regard, on 13 November 2009, the Ministry of Federal Territories became officially known as the Ministry of Federal Territories and Urban Well-being (Malay: Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan dan Kesejahteraan Bandar). After the 2013 elections, the urban well-being function of the ministry was transferred to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, and the ministry was renamed once again to the Ministry of Federal Territories.

On 22 December 2022, the Federal Territories Ministry was officially restructured into the Federal Territories Department under the purview of the Prime Minister's Department.[3]
