The district covers 2,112 square kilometers and includes three main areas: Larut, Matang, and Selama, with Taiping serving as the administrative center.
The district developed during the 1880s British colonial period due to tin mining activities along the Larut River, establishing Malaysia's first railway connection.
The population reflects Malaysian diversity with 62.7% Bumiputera, 26.1% Chinese, and 11% Indian residents maintaining their traditions and practices.
Two local authorities manage the district: Taiping Municipal Council for the southern region and Selama District Council for the northern section.
