Gombak, Administrative district in Selangor, Malaysia

Gombak extends across 65,008 hectares of land featuring a combination of hilly terrain in three directions and lowlands in the central region.

The district formed on February 1, 1974, alongside the establishment of Kuala Lumpur as a Federal Territory, with Rawang serving as its capital until 1997.

The Orang Asli Museum displays traditional artifacts, hunting equipment, musical instruments, and garments representing indigenous Malaysian communities in the region.

The district contains two municipal councils, Ampang Jaya and Selayang, managing four administrative divisions: Batu, Rawang, Setapak, and Ulu Klang.

The convergence of Gombak River with Klang River marks the historical foundation point of Kuala Lumpur, now marked by Masjid Jamek.
