Tapah Road

The station was constructed with a 30 km (19 mi) railway to Teluk Intan (Branch Line) in the 1880s.

The town became relatively less important in terms of economic activities in the region as road vehicles gained popularity beginning in the 1970s.

The train service between Tapah Road and Teluk Intan had been terminated in 1991 and most of the railtrack is no longer in place.

This name has drawn some criticism from local Malay linguists because it has a colonial 'stain' on it.

There are large oil palm estates near the town leading to Teluk Intan.
