History

Happy Garden was founded in 1963. A big portion of the area, some 162 hectares, was developed by Sim Nam Housing Development Co Sdn Bhd.

Taman Gembira sits on former rubber estates. Unlike other estates like Petaling Jaya, which were single titled and more organised, the area was fragmented in numerous 0.81-hectare (two-acre) lots, which suited the company's development strategy.

New developments in the vicinity have improved accessibility. One can reach Taman Gembira via several routes, including the KL-Seremban Highway, the Kesas Highway, the Puchong-Sg Besi Highway and the Federal Highway.
