Bidor was believed to have begun as a small village by the banks of Bidor River in the late 18th century. Local villagers transported goods using their little boats (Malay means “sampan”) to neighboring villages along the river towards Teluk Intan in one of the Hilir Perak districts.

Following the tin-mining boom in Perak, there was an influx of Chinese immigrants to Perak as a whole, including Bidor. The Hoklo (Hokkien-speaking) Chinese was believed to have originated from Teluk Intan. The influx of the Hakka and Cantonese came from Kinta Valley and Hulu Selangor. They came to Batang Padang to flee the Chinese triad wars and some of them were brought in to work in the newly opened tin mines of the area.

Some of its prominent charms include Lata Kinjang Waterfall, Gepai Falls and a holiday resort known as The Cedar Bidor. Bidor is perhaps most famously known for its duck-thigh noodle and wanton mee whereby all of these local delicacies are associated to the popular Pun Chun Restaurant. Food enthusiasts willingly go through the outrageously long wait just for a table in this decades-old restaurant.

据信，美罗最初是 18 世纪末美罗河畔的一个小村庄。 当地村民使用小船（马来语意为“舢舨”）将货物沿河运送到邻近的村庄，前往霹雳州其中一个县的安顺。

随着霹雳州锡矿开采的繁荣，包括美罗在内的中国移民涌入整个霹雳州。 福佬族（闽南语）华人被认为起源于安顺。 客家人和广东人的涌入来自近打谷和乌鲁雪兰莪。 他们来到巴当巴东是为了逃离中国的三合会战争，其中一些人被带去该地区新开的锡矿工作。

其著名景点包括 Lata Kinjang 瀑布、Gepai 瀑布和名为 The Cedar Bidor 的度假胜地。 美罗最著名的可能是鸭腿面和云吞面，所有这些当地美食都与受欢迎的 Pun Chun 餐厅有关。 在这家已有数十年历史的餐厅里，美食爱好者们愿意为了一张桌子而经历漫长的等待。
