Jawatan Kosong MD Marang - Majlis Daerah Marang or Marang District Council was established on January 1, 1981 when all Local Municipality Administration were restructured. In the early stage of its establishment, Marang District Council only consists of two (2) counties namely Rusila and Pulau Kerengga. The land area is 43.10 square kilometer consisting of 13 villages.
Various stories and fairy tales have been associated with the origin of the Marang district name. Interestingly, among others, it was believed to be derived from the name of a Chinese trader who was very famous once upon a time. His name was Ma and he stayed in the river confluence. It was said that he was a trader of dried sea products such as fish and squid. At that time, there were sea products called "rang" by the locals, abundantly left under the sun for drying near his residence. It was believed that, it was the large number of “rang” and the fame of the Chinese trader named Ma that made up the name Marang which remains to date.
The history of the Marang district administration began before the reign of Baginda Omar (1839-1876). This was in the knowledge of the district leaders appointed by Tuanku Al-Sultan. The administration by the district leaders was based on the river district administration. During the reign of Sultan Zainal Abidin III from 1881 to 1918 M, Yang Dipertuan Muda Tengku Mohamad was given the authority to look after the Sungai Marang area, while Tengku Putra, represented by his wife, who was the Princess of Tengku Long and Tengku Safiah was authorised to look after the Sungai Merchang area. They were responsible for tax and revenue collection. The penghulus (chiefs) had no governing power. Their authority was limited to only certain villages.
In 1912, the district administrative system by the district leaders was then granted to District Officers who governed based on the river district administration. The district officer appointed was to administer the river district areas under Marang district including Merchang.
In 1923, during the reign of Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah from 1920 to 1942, the first British Advisor in Terengganu, J.L. Hunphreys introduced a new provincial administration system, where the districts of Kuala Terengganu, Kuala Berang and Marang were placed under the purview of Jajahan Tengah (Central Colony) with its administrative centre being in Kuala Terengganu. The other districts such as Kemaman, Kemasik, Paka and Dungun were placed under Jajahan Timur (East Colony) with the administrative centre being in Kemaman. Meanwhile, Besut and Setiu were placed under Jajahan Barat (West Colony) with the administrative centre being in Kampung Raja. Each district was led by a Commissioner, assisted by a British Assistant Advisor and the respective District Officers.
To further streamline the administration of the districts, the first Marang district office building was first built in 1915 based on the Johor District Office model. Based on oral information, the first Marang District Office Building was built on the riverside estuary of Sungai Marang (Marang River).
Marang has an area of 666 km². The district's topography consists of the South China Sea coast, peat swamps, hills and plains. The sub-districts (Malay: mukim) of Rusila, Pulau Kerengga and Merchang lie on the coast with sandy plains gradually giving way to hills in the interior. The Jerong sub-district is mainly hilly, while the sub-districts of Bukit Payong and Alor Limbat consist of rolling plains and peat swamps. The district's population of 84,938 (2000 census) is 97.2% rural and predominantly Malays (97.2%) while the Chinese are the biggest ethnic minority (2.6%).
