The town was said to have been founded by the Minangkabau of Talu, a village located in present-day West Pasaman, Sumatra; the community erected a surau taruno in which young men would be expected to be housed there while starting their own families, which Tronoh would be named after. The tin-mining industry boom during the early 20th century saw Tronoh, a town believed to be old, grow from a small village into a major town. The mines in the area included Teronoh South Ltd., Tronoh Extended Ltd., Chung Thye Phin's Phin Tak Mine and Chia Tek's Lee Yeoh Mine, all of which were acquired by Foo Choo Choon's Tronoh Mines Ltd. between 1912 and 1921.
