The Jempol District (Negeri Sembilan Malay: Jompo; Jawi: جمڤول) is the largest district in the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan. The district borders Jelebu District to the northwest, Kuala Pilah District to the west, Tampin District to the south, Bera District, Pahang to the northeast and Segamat District, Johor to the east. Bandar Seri Jempol and Bahau are the principal towns in Jempol.[4]
Jempol is also the meeting point of Muar and Serting rivers. The meeting point had played an important transportation role in ancient times. Known historically as Jalan Penarikan, it connected trade posts west of the Malay Peninsula with population centres in the east coast and vice versa.
Jempol is equipped with a hospital funded by the Malaysian Ministry of Health. The hospital is the main health care provider in Jempol and its surrounding areas including Serting and Bahau. Residents of Rompin and other nearby areas in Pahang that used to seek treatment in Kuala Pilah have started to visit the hospital. Bahau is 21 km away from Kuala Pilah.
Jempol District is divided into 5 mukims, which are:[5]
From a traditional adat perspective, Serting Ulu, Serting Ilir and Kuala Jempol and the western portion of Rompin form the Luak of Jempol, which is part of the Luak Tanah Mengandung – peripheral luaks that surround the royal territory of Seri Menanti and under the governance of the Yamtuan Besar. On the other hand, the eastern portion of Rompin, as well as Jelai in the district's southern salient are part of the Luak of Johol, a Luak Berundang – a set of four luaks under the administration of an Undang, the other being Jelebu, Sungai Ujong and Rembau.
Jempol Municipal Council (Malay: Majlis Perbandaran Jempol), formerly known as the Jempol District Council from 1 August 1980 until 29 January 2019, is the local authority of Jempol District.[6]
