Seria, not to be confused with Syria

Posted on 28/06/201122/01/2013 By Reedz

Seria is a town in the Belait District of Brunei Darussalam. Its full name is Pekan Seria in full (Pekan is the Malay word for “Town”). Seria was originally known as Padang Berawa which is Wild Pigeon’s Field in Malay. The name “Seria” comes from the river located very near where oil was first discovered in the area in 1929. Official correspondence by the people that made the oil discovery stated that it was found in “Seria”, and thus the name of the area became known as “Seria”.
