Matman Township, also known as Metman Township, is a township of the Wa Self-Administered Division of Shan State,[2] formerly and conterminously part of Matman District. The capital of the township is Matman.
Historically most of the area had been the mountainous and wooded northwestern end of Kengtung State.[3] Prior to 2011 the Township was carved out from parts of Hopang District and Kengtung District.[4]
