Ulu Choh

Ulu Choh is a small town in Iskandar Puteri, Kulai District, Johor, Malaysia. It is located near the border of the Pontian district and situated along the Skudai-Pontian Highway (Federal Route 5).

About 50 years ago, Ulu Choh was only a dense forest hideaway. The government then encouraged residents around the area to take part in agricultural activities such as rubber tree and vegetable cultivation. At the same time, Singapore required water supply from Johor. Hence, PUB Singapore opened a branch in Ulu Choh to process their own water supply. The opening of the PUB branch caused an influx of people and the formation of a small village that was later known as Batu 22, Jalan Kolam Air.

Kampung Ulu Choh was formed in 1951 and in early 1953, Batu 22 was declared as the Ulu Choh Local Council. The government then appointed a few locals as councilors. The first chairman of the local council was Kok Yin Khian followed by Kok Kim Hee.

In 1959, the first Ulu Choh Local Council elections was held to select a local authority.

In June 2013 an extreme sport park has been created and know it is known as Ulu Choh Dirt Park. Designed and managed by bikers for bikers, U.C.D.P is a sprawling playground with terrain for all levels – from the dirt noob to the downright insane.

In 2014, already there are several industrial factories in Ulu Choh. Known as Ulu Choh Industrial Park.
