Raub
Raub is

2,271 km², Raub district is situated in west of Pahang and between

Raub was explored and founded in the 18th century. It is a historic
gold mining settlement, and the gold mining industry is now
undergoing something of a resurgence as the gold price has risen.
There are a lot of British style building in Raub, especially along
Mason Road (now known as Jalan Tengku Abdullah). Most of the
building in Raub were built during the pre-World War II era. The
Police Station of Raub is probably one of the oldest building in
Malaysia, it was built in 1905.
After the gold mines were depleted, the main economic activity of
Raub is agriculture. Main commodity crops in Raub are natural
rubber, oil palm, cocoa and local fruits, like durians. Durians
grown in Raub are probably the best in Malaysia.
The population in Raub is very diversified although it is
predominantly Chinese and most of them are descendants of the gold
mining workforce. The Chinese are concentrated in the original Raub
town. The Malays on the other hand, are located primarily on the
outskirts of Raub town.
Raub is administered by Raub District Council (Majlis Daerah Raub).
The main public transport is the bus network. Buses travel from the
town centre to other satellite towns and cities within the Raub
district, inter-districts and interstates everyday. Towns and cities
accessible by bus from Raub includes Bentong, Kuantan, Kuala Lumpur
and even Singapore.
