Go BackAlor Gajah District is located 24 km from Malacca Town. The district is said to have been named after a belief that a herd of elephants was once seen walking along the riverbank. This resulted in the place being called Alor Gajah.
The Alor Gajah area has been settled by Minangkabau people going back to the 12th century, even before the establishment of the Sultanate of Malacca.
Alor Gajah is subdivided into mukims. There are all together 31 mukim in Alor Gajah. They are Ayer Paabas, Belimbing, Beringin, Berisu, Durian Tunggal, Gadek, Kelemak, Kemmunig, Kuala Linggi, Kuala Sungai Baru, Lendu, Machap, Masjid Tanah, Melaka Pindah, Melekek, Padang Sebang, Parit Melana, Pegoh, Pulau Sebang, Ramuan China Kecil, Ramuan China Besar, Rembia, Sungai Baru Ilir, Sungai Baru Tengah, Sungai Baru Ulu, Sungai Buloh, Sungai Petai, Sungai Siput, Taboh Naning, Tanjung Rimau and Tebong.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
