Megamendung was created from what were formerly the northern and western parts of Cisarua District in 1997.
Much of the district lies in an elevation of 500-600 metres,[6] which moderates the temperature, and causing contrast to the heat of Greater Jakarta and other adjacent low-lying lands. Though much of the built-up area is not necessarily on rugged terrain, uneven ground is the most common terrain as it stands sandwiched between mountains. The area is also proximate to Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, where a portion of the park itself lies within district boundaries.
Megamendung is most famed for its restaurant and factory outlets, where they have are often frequented by locals, daytrippers and visitors from Jakarta and around. Asides from said clusters, the district are also renowned for its variety of streams that flow down from nearby Mount Pangrango and surrounding mountains.
