According to Kinta Valley: Pioneering Malaysia's Modern Development (page 153), Malim Nawar was named after Sheikh Haji Junus, a 19th century Muslim religious teacher from Sumatra. The name only came about when the place became a railway stop in the early 20th century. The Perak Hydro company built a small steam station there. And as with other small towns in Perak, Malim Nawar was transformed by tin mining.
