Bukit Bakri is located on the eastern end of Jalan Bakri (part of Federal Highway 24), which is the main road that connects Bakri Town to Bandar Maharani (Muar City Centre). The name 'Bakri' is believed to have been derived from the name of Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor - the name or alias dedicated to him as the present for his birthday by Dato' Muhammad Salleh Bin Prang. Many people were not aware that Jalan Bakri was one of the straightest roads in the State of Johore at that time. This showcases the ability of the local engineers in the late 19th century.
There are many Muslim, Chinese, Hindu and Christian cemeteries in Bakri town including the historic Japanese war cemetery from World War II which has become the obvious landmark of the small town. The largest clan in the local Chinese population belongs to the surname "Toh" (杜) in Hokkien or "Du" in Chinese, and there is a prominent Chinese temple known as Siang Kong Shan Temple dedicated to Du Fu Da Ren.
