The population then consisted mainly of indigenous Malays, living on subsistence farming as well as fishing in the Triang River. Following the migration of Chinese to SE Asia, the first Chinese began to arrive in Triang around 1900.

The FMSR's southernmost stop was in Singapore. As the railway line headed up north it reached Gemas whereupon the line split into western and eastern routes. T ...
