Under British rule Kanpetlet was one of the two districts in the Chin Hills. However, due to its isolated location and lack of large enough population to support development, it has become one of the least developed townships in Chin State and Myanmar.

Kan Pet Let is the home of the southern Chin tribes of the Dai, Da Yindu, Uppu, Mun and Ng'gha clans. It can be found especially in ancient Burmese official literature. Around its border there are Saw, Mindat, Paletwa, Setottayar and Minpyar townships.
