Background edit
The district was created alongside a larger reorganization of Yangon Region's subdivisions on 30 April 2022. The former North Yangon District along with the other three districts were expanded to 14 districts by the provisional government.[2] To its north, it borders Taikkyi District, to its east it borders Hlegu District. To its south it borders parts of Yangon city, including Insein District and Mingaladon District.[3]
The principal town of the district is Hmawbi and Hmawbi airport is at Indan, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) northeast of the town of Hmawbi.[4]
