Tundong has about twenty shophouses on roads perpendicular to the river, but some are now used as residences only. The town was flooded to a depth of 4.6 metres in 1963 and to 3.5 metres in 1976.

Sir Henry Keppel in 1846 describes Tundong as “quite a new settlement”, and the principal Chinese station in the area.
