Raub District, Administrative district in Pahang, Malaysia

Raub District contains numerous colonial buildings along Mason Road, including a police station constructed in 1906 and government administrative structures.

The district emerged as a gold mining settlement in the 1800s, with the Raub Australian Gold Mine establishing operations in 1889 at Bukit Koman.

The name Raub originates from a Malay word meaning scoop, referencing the methods early miners used to collect gold from the area.

The district connects to major destinations through Federal Route 8 and serves as a central bus interchange for western Pahang transportation networks.

Local agricultural production transformed the district into Malaysia's durian capital, while Peninsular Gold continues mining operations transitioning from tailings to fresh ore.
