DAERAH KINTA: SEJARAH DAN PERKEMBANGAN
Kinta merupakan daerah paling padat di negeri Perak dengan keluasan 1,305 kilometer persegi dan jumlah penduduk melebihi 888,000 orang. Ia juga merupakan daerah ketujuh paling ramai penduduk di Malaysia. Sebahagian besar penduduknya menetap di bahagian utara, khususnya di sekitar Ipoh, ibu negeri Perak. Daerah Kinta terus berkembang dengan sejarah yang kaya, menjadikannya antara kawasan paling penting di negeri Perak.Bandar-bandar utama di daerah Kinta seperti Ipoh dan Batu Gajah dipercayai mula wujud sekitar 1880-an. Namun, dipercayai keluarga Dato Panglima Kinta yang mula-mula mendiami serta membangunkan bandar Ipoh sejak abad ke-16. Pada ketika itu Ipoh hanyalah sebuah kampung yang kecil mempunyai beberapa pondok berbumbungkan atap nipah dengan penduduknya seramai 200 orang.
Penduduk yang terawal mendiami bandar Ipoh terdiri daripada orang asli dan disusuli orang Melayu. Mereka ini telah menjalankan aktiviti perusahaan perlombongan bijih timah secara kaedah mendulang dan lombong siam iaitu secara tradisional. Bijih timah dibawa dengan tongkang dan sampan melalui Sungai Kinta. Setelah bijih timah dijumpai di kawasan sekitarnya, ramailah para pelombong dari lain-lain bahagian Negeri Perak dan dari tempat-tempat lain bertumpu ke Lembah Kinta. Kemudian Ipoh memainkan peranan sebagai sebuah pekan untuk bekalan keperluan para pelombong. Bandar Ipoh mula menjadi pesat dengan pelbagai kegiatan dan aktiviti perniagaan.
Bekas Panglima Kinta Zainal Abidin, Panglima Kinta Abdul Wahab, hartawan perlombongan misteri yang berselindung disebalik nama samaran Kulup Lembang (terkenal di Tambun), Panjang Seman, dan Itam Harun adalah diantara tuan tanah dan hartawan perlombongan Melayu terawal yang terkenal di Kinta. Penglibatan dan sumbangan mereka pada masa lalu dalam sejarah perlombongan timah Kinta mungkin telah terlepas pandang atau diabaikan oleh sesetengah pihak, tetapi tidak seharusnya dilupakan.
Ipoh: Bandaraya Bersejarah
Ipoh, yang telah dinaikkan taraf sebagai bandaraya, merupakan antara bandar terbesar di Malaysia. Bandar ini memiliki sejarah serta identiti tersendiri, menjadikannya unik berbanding bandar-bandar lain di negeri Perak. Nama Ipoh berasal daripada sejenis pokok yang mengeluarkan getah beracun, dikenali sebagai upa. Getah ini digunakan oleh masyarakat Orang Asli dalam aktiviti memburu dan juga sebagai perlindungan diri.
Dalam tahun 1890, sebuah jambatan kayu telah dibina menyeberangi Sungai Kinta untuk kemudahan orang ramai. Ipoh membesar sehingga menjadi salah sebuah daripada pekan yang terbesar dalam Daerah Kinta. Dengan majunya perusahaan bijih timah, Ipoh menjadi bertambah penting lagi. Mulai saat itu, Ipoh terus bergerak dari sebuah perkampungan perlombongan bijih timah menjadi pusat perdagangan yang dapat menarik ramai pelabur dari luar.
Batu Gajah: Tapak Sejarah Penting
Batu Gajah telah dikenali sejak tahun 1880-an dan dipercayai wujud sekitar 1870-an. Menurut catatan diari J.W.W. Birch, Residen British pertama di Perak, beliau pernah melawat Batu Gajah pada 30 April 1875 dan menyifatkannya sebagai sebuah kampung besar di tepi Sungai Kinta, dengan kemudahan relau besar untuk melebur bijih timah.
Gunung Kledang dan Rumah Rehat Kinta
Pada tahun 1893, banglo kerajaan di Gunung Kledang disediakan untuk penginapan dua keluarga. Permohonan untuk menginap perlu dilakukan secara bertulis kepada Majistret Daerah, dengan keutamaan diberikan kepada pegawai kerajaan. Terdapat lima rumah rehat di daerah Kinta ketika itu, terletak di Batu Gajah, Ipoh, Kuala Dipang, Gopeng, dan Kota Bharu.
- 1895: Rumah Rehat Batu Gajah dibina sebagai ibu pejabat daerah Kinta.
- 1906: Tempoh tinggal di Rumah Rehat Kampar dilanjutkan dari tiga hari kepada tujuh hari.
- 1924: Rumah Rehat Ipoh menjadi tumpuan pelancong, terutama dari Singapura. Pelawat sering tiba dengan kenderaan sendiri, memanfaatkan perkhidmatan rumah rehat yang diuruskan oleh penjaga berbangsa Hailam.
- 1929: Bukit Kledang yang berketinggian 2,646 kaki mempunyai dua banglo yang boleh diakses melalui laluan khas sepanjang empat batu.
- 1929: Rumah Rehat Gopeng dipindahkan ke bandar susulan kelulusan permohonan Osborne dan Chappel untuk perlombongan di kawasan tersebut.
Sanatorium TB Batu Gajah
Sanatorium TB Batu Gajah ditubuhkan pada tahun 1951 di atas tanah seluas 55 ekar. Pada 1965, institusi ini mengalami kekurangan kakitangan khusus walaupun memiliki kemudahan lengkap. Setahun kemudian, pada 1966, usaha penukaran pusat tersebut kepada sanatorium dijalankan dengan rayuan bantuan kewangan daripada kerajaan negeri dan orang awam. Pengerusi Lembaga Pengelola, Dato’ (Dr) Haji Megat Khas bin Haji Megat Omar, menegaskan kepentingan penukaran ini bagi memastikan kelangsungan rawatan pesakit TB di negeri Perak.
