[4] The mukim is home to some of the country's museums and historical sites, in particular in Kota Batu.

The mukim could be named after a village that it encompasses, Kampong Kota Batu.

According to legend, the river occasionally smells like jasmine flowers.

The small invisible people who live in the river, known locally as Orang Kebenaran or Orang Bunian, are thought to be the source of the pleasant flower scent.

A few of the villages are also part of Bandar Seri Begawan municipal area, namely Kampong Belimbing, Kota Batu, Pelambayan, Pintu Malim, Subok and Sungai Lampai.
