  • About twenty five years ago this place was very quite, we need about twenty minutes on foot to go to the center of the city as Tangga Batu, Talang Klapo etc. but now as I read from the website of OKUSel. It is a capital of OKUSel District, There is an estuary of Selabung River and Saka river, caused of this situation the name of this place is called Muaro Duo, it means that there is a place of two estuaries. In this area built many government offices, as an SD, SMP, Jail, Police Station, and there was an old building as a castle but, people around damaged it and used its brick to make the new house. There is a mystic place called PUYANG, people there said that it is a grave of Komering Singh ( an Indian trader ) who develop this place, because of the grave is situated in the headwaters of river, so people named this river is Komering.Most people of this place are fisherman and mine man.They mine the sand of river and catch the fish there. In about 1956 there was a school called SGB, but caused of this rural place was hard to develop so the school is closed. In 1976 the head master of the SMP Negeri got :Guru Teladan Nasional, his name is Daud Yusuf. PasarLamo is a real historic village of Muaradua
