Cameron
Highlands were named after William Cameron, a British colonial
government surveyor who discovered the plateau during a mapping
expedition in 1885. The fame of Cameron Highlands then grew
during the colonial era when British planters realized the
potential of its fertile mountain slopes for growing tea, then a
prized commodity. Cameron Highlands is still home to many tea
plantations, being Malaysia's largest tea-producing region.
