Tronoh, Perak

Tronoh (GPS: 4.4224, 100.99147), also written Teronoh, is a small town in Kinta District, Perak. It is located about 30 km from Ipoh on the Ipoh-Lumut Highway (Federal Route 5).

As with many of the towns in the Kinta Valley, Tronoh grew out of the tin mining activities of the turn of the 20th century. The mines in Tronoh belonged to the Tronoh Mines Company owned by Chung Thye Phin, the last Kapitan Cina of Perak.

Today Tronoh is near the campuses of the Universiti Teknologi Petronas and Universiti Teknologi MARA, which is located further south at Bandar Seri Iskandar.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
