Sedikit Memory

Berdasarkan keterangan itu ternyatalah Kuala Berang

 pernah menjadi pusat perniagaan yang utama di 

Asia Tenggara disamping Seri Wijaya dalam kurun masihi yang ke 12. 

Selain daripada itu, disinilah juga berlakunya 

Perlantikan Kesultanan Terengganu Pertama.

Daerah ini juga terbukti merupakan tempat terawal 

menerima Agama Islam di semenanjung Tanah Melayu 

berdasarkan catitan pada Batu Bersurat Terengganu

 bertarikh 1303 M (702 H) yang dijumpai di Kampung Buloh, Hulu Terengganu.

Di samping itu, daerah Hulu Terengganu juga pernah 

menjadi tempat kunjungan dan tempat bermastautin 

tokoh-tokoh ulama seperti yang dibuktikan dengan 

penemuan makam-makam lama seperti Makam Tok Raja Ri di

 Kampung Kuala Por, Makam Tok Pauh di Kampung Pauh, 

Makam Tok Gajah di Kampung Pasir Nering, Makam Tok Berlian

 Mahmud di Kampung Kemat, Makam Tun Indera di Kampung

 Kuala Por dan Makam Sharif Mohammad al-Baghdadi di Kampung Jenagor.

Hulu Terengganu juga pernah menjadi tumpuan 

pahlawan-pahlawan Melayu seperti Tok Gajah, Dato` Bahaman, 

Tok Janggut, Mat Kilau dan lain-lain lagi di awal abad ke 19. 

Daerah ini dijadikan sebagai kubu dan tempat 

persembunyian mereka bagi mengatur strategi menentang 

penjajahan Inggeris pada ketika itu. Antara peristiwa 

yang masih menjadi ingatan sehingga ke hari ini 

ialah Peristiwa Padang Kacong di Kuala Telemong.
