History
The area first saw Chinese settlers open up "kangchu" plantations in Kangkar Sungai Tiram. In the early 20th century, numerous rubber estates were established by British and Chinese planters and led to the influx of more Chinese and Indian immigrants. In the early days of Malaysian independence, FELDA land development schemes in the area allowed more Malays to enjoy the benefits of palm oil and rubber agriculture.Since the 1990s, the urban expansion of Johor Bahru has ended Ulu Tiram's relative isolation and it is now one of the fastest growing suburbs of the city as part of the Tebrau growth corridor.
