It is located at the downstream of Kangsar River where it joins the Perak River, approximately {{Convert|25|km|abbr=on}} northwest of Ipoh, Perak's capital, and {{Convert|98|km|abbr=on}} southeast of George Town, Penang. It is the main town in the administrative district of Kuala Kangsar. It is about 235 km from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.==History=={{more citations needed|date=June 2016}}The site must have had a strange effect on Sultan Yusuf Sharifuddin Mudzaffar Shah of Perak who ruled from 1877 to 1887.{{clarify|date=June 2016}} Unlike many rulers who protected their royal palaces and strongholds by selecting their vantage points carefully where they could detect enemy approach from afar, the Sultan had his first royal palace built beside the riverbank. He then named it 'Istana Sri Sayong'.Apart from being exposed to the impending threat of invasion, the other problem was the force of monsoon seasons, which led to numerous flooding as water gushed down from the jungles above through the many tributaries. The name Kuala Kangsar is believed to be derived from 'Kuala Kurang-Sa', which literally means '100 minus (-) one', usually interpreted as 'the 99th small tributary to flow into the Perak River'.One flooding was so severe, it almost swept the palace away. Finally, after the Big Flood or Air Bah in 1926,{{clarify|date=June 2016}} it was decided to move the place further up onto the knoll where stands the current Royal Palace named Istana Iskandariah with its Art-Deco architecture, a rare but significant piece of architectural milestone in Malaysia.The Sultan of Perak officially resides in Kuala Kangsar, and it has been Perak's royal seat since the 18th century. It is one of four towns that plays a role in Perak's complex succession system. It was the administrative seat of the first British Resident in the Malay Peninsula, James W. W. Birch, from October 1874 until he was murdered on 2 November 1875. It was the capital of Perak until 1876.{{cite web|title=Malay States|url=http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Malay_states.htm WorldStatesmen.org|work=worldstatesmen.org|accessdate=7 May 2013|author=Ben M.
