History

Arey Ksat was officially created as a municipality on 23 December 2022, along with several other new cities in Kandal and neighboring provinces, through a national government sub‑decree reorganizing parts of existing districts.[4]

Geography

Arey Ksat lies within the central lowland plains of Kandal province near the outskirts of the Phnom Penh metropolitan region. The terrain is predominantly flat and part of the greater Mekong floodplain. The average elevation of the area is low, typical of the surrounding agricultural plains in southern Cambodia.[5]

Demographic

As of the 2019 Cambodian general population census, the total population of the communes that now form Arey Ksat was approximately 73,764.[6]

The population is predominantly ethnic Khmer, and Buddhism is the main religion. Most residents live in rural or semi‑urban villages, with livelihoods centered around agriculture, local markets, and small enterprises.
