According to stories told by the old folks in this district, Raub was opened for the first time in the 18th century. The story goes that two young men, together with their father were travelling through the jungle alongside a stream. After travelling for a while, they arrived at a spot where the water was obstructed by a dam.
As soon as they arrived, the father told his sons that it was a perfect spot to rest. The sand by the stream was very clean. The young men agreed with their father’s decision. They then started to clear the area. They cleaned up the surroundings and built a hut. Every day the three men went into the jungle to look for cane, resin, rubber, jelutung (Dyera costulata) wood and etc.
They also gathered shoots that grow wild near the dam for food. The men cleared the sand near the dam with their hands (meraup in Malay). Every time they meraup, they got gold. Because there was a lot of gold and it was easily gotten, just by meraup with their hands, it was believed that they named the area “RAUB”.
Since then, they continued to look for gold. The original place where they found gold is now the Raub District Council’s Field. That was how the story goes. However, if the name Raub originated from the word meraup, there is a slight difference in its spelling. The word meraup is from the verb “RAUP” but it is spelled “RAUB”. Nevertheless, due to its pronunciation in the local dialect, it may be more suitable to be spelled as “RAUB” than “RAUP”.
