Subang Jaya is a town in Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia. It comprises the southern third district of Petaling. Subang Jaya consists of SS12 to SS19, PJS7/PJS9/PJS11 or Bandar Sunway, UEP Subang Jaya (USJ) which are also partially or fully jurisdictional within Petaling Jaya under the MBPJ, Putra Heights and Batu Tiga. The town is governed by Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ), which also governs other areas of the Petaling district, Puchong and Seri Kembangan.
Before 1974, this area was part of Klang. The town was developed by Sime UEP Properties Berhad, the property development arm of the Malaysian conglomerate Sime Darby. The site was formerly a rubber plantation called Seafield Estate under the municipality of Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya. Construction work for the development of Subang Jaya began on 21 February 1976 and was concluded in 1988. Upon completion of Subang Jaya in the same year, Sime UEP began clearing land for the development of USJ. In 1999, Sime UEP began the development of Putra Heights.
In 1997, Subang Jaya was granted the status of a municipality, elevating the Petaling District Council (Majlis Daerah Petaling) to Subang Jaya Municipal Council (Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya). Its municipal area comprised the areas administered by the former Petaling District Council, as well as some areas transferred from Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam city councils. The MPSJ holds local government authority not only in Subang Jaya town centre, but also USJ, Putra Heights, Batu Tiga, Bandar Sunway, Puchong, Bandar Kinrara, Seri Kembangan, Balakong, and other parts of southern Petaling district (although some jurisdictional areas such as USJ, Bandar Sunway and Taman Mutiara Subang also falls under partial or full jurisdiction of MBPJ and MBSA).
