History

Cameron Highlands was named after British surveyor William Cameron, who discovered the area in 1885. During the British colonial period, it was developed into a tea-growing region due to its cool climate and fertile soil. British settlers built cottages and farms, turning the highlands into a retreat reminiscent of England. Over the decades, Cameron Highlands has grown into a popular tourist destination while still maintaining its agricultural roots, especially in tea and strawberry farming.
