Prabumulih

Prabumulih is a regional administrative city located in South Sumatra that spans flat terrain across its territory. The city functions as an administrative center organized into six districts that manage local governance.

Prabumulih became an independent city in 2001 when it separated from Muara Enim Regency. This establishment marked the beginning of its status as a distinct administrative entity.

The city is known as 'Kota Nanas' because of its pineapple farming heritage that shapes how people work and trade. You'll see this agricultural tradition reflected in local markets and the surrounding fields.

The best way to explore the city is on foot or by car through its different districts. The flat terrain makes travel easy and most locations are accessible without difficulty.

The area plays a major role in South Sumatra's oil and gas production and contributes significantly to the regional economy. This industry has shaped how the city has developed and grown over time.
