Planning the construction of the Sixth University began when the Ministry of Education (now the university is under the Ministry of Higher Education) is planning to establish a university in the month of August 1983.

A few months later, the official office of the Sixth University was named Universiti Utara Malaysia was officially opened on February 15, 1984 at Jitra. Four months later, UUM campus moved to Darul Aman in Jitra in June 1984 when the first phase of the project completed.

When MCP disarm and end their struggles, Sintok area was gazetted white areas back in December 1988 by former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, who is the Minister of State at the time. The move allows the UUM campus started construction Sintok from January 7, 1989.
Since that date Sintok a quiet area without residents and declared the area until it was gazetted in the black as the white area in December 1988 in view of the peaceful and thus to enable the campus to Sintok, fixed UUM campus. The Prime Minister has given a period of 18 months to complete the UUM campus Sintok.This means that construction should be completed by July 1990 when the new session begins. Exactly 18 months, the Prime Minister visited the campus to see the progress of construction Sintok campus is priced at RM580 million.

Total UUM students increased from 3,500 at the time to be more kurang16, 500 people or more nowadays.

In this Sintok River valley, prior to the UUM campus, there is an open tin mines. Mining and logging are the two main activities of the residents in the past.
