history

Archaeological finds in Lumut suggest that people have lived there since at least the 14th century AD. Chinese and Siamese pottery, which can be dated to the time of the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), was discovered in the vicinity of the Sungai Lumut. However, these finds seem to have been grave goods, so it is not certain whether people also lived there.

The coastal settlements are on Lumut Beach . Part of the beach has been opened to the public as a park ( Pantai Perkelahan Lumut ), and there is the private Liang Lumut Recreation Club with a festival hall and water park.
