Name
The name "Cha'ah" or "Chaah" is derived from its geographical location. Chaah is situated between mapping of three rivers. The Mandarin pronunciation of Chaah is "San He Gang" (三合港). - "San" means three - "He" means join - "Gang" means port There are a rumours about how the name was coined. It may be named "Chaah" because the early owner of this inner harbour was named Cha Ah Kong (谢亚光). Further, back in the early 1960s, Chaah villagers lived along the Sungai Chaah (River Chaah). The main transportation was Sampan (small boat). Sampan is used for travelling to other towns, namely Batu Pahat which is the nearest one.
