It is located in the far northwest of Peninsular Malaysia, right on the Perlis River and close to the border with Thailand.
It is a quiet, charming town set in a predominantly agricultural area (with many rice fields) and serves mainly as an administrative hub and a marketplace for local agricultural produce and fishery products.
The town likely takes its name from the historic *Pohon Kangar* tree, beneath which traders used to conduct business along the river.
