According to a legend told by residents, this village is called Lubuk Siam because in ancient times there was a villager who was very rich. He has an urn that comes from Siam (Thailand).

The quarrel ended because the jar was thrown into a pit (lake) and drowned. The area was later named Lubuk Siam.

Traditional Architecture of Lubuk Siam Village
As villages and cities in Riau are always located on the banks of the river. The village of Lubuk Siam extends parallel to the Kampar River which flows from west to east. Here grow people's houses with local architecture. Apart from houses, there are also mosques and prayer rooms, hall houses, and village offices. There are also traditional facilities such as piers, latrines by the river and others. Generally, traditional stilt houses are made of local materials such as wood with a tin roof.

The architectural form of the house when viewed from the typology of the roof there are three kinds. Houses with folding roofs (Atap Lipat), houses with pyramid roofs (Atap Limas) and houses with lontiok roofs. The three forms of this roof are typical Riau Malay roofs. Currently, the lontiok roof house is only visible in one unit. Even then, there has been a transformation with the addition of a pyramid roof at the front. At the front there is an entrance staircase with the addition of a small foyer for placing guest items.
