History

Telupid was firstly settled around 1940s and became the major route for the Sandakan Death Marches during World War II. At the time, it was mainly inhabited by the Dusun people.[1] From 2017, more development began to be carried out due to its strategic location in the middle of Sabah that connects Kota Kinabalu in the west coast and Sandakan in the east coast.[2]
