 Tronoh, Perak
About Tronoh
Tronoh, 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.
