History
In 1940s, the first planning of the town is a large-scale opening of rice fields known as Bendang D.O. DO means the British district officer who was leading Teluk Intan during that time. Farmers from coasts of Perak River and north Peninsular Malaysia (Penang, Perlis and Kedah) are allowed to come and open a 2-hectare of rice field for each family. They received free assistance of transportation and tools to build their temporary shelter. After independence, the town was developed further with drainage systems including the Trans Kerian - Sungai Manik irrigation area.
