History of Tanjung Langsat Village



Opened around 1910 and is named after a fruit tree complexioned great on the beach. This village has become one of the Japanese landing in the second world war around 1945. Starting from the clearing of land by the sea, inhabited by about ten families, this village now growing sparsely populated.  According to the story of local resident, Kampung Tanjung Langsat get its name from langsat tree. A few years ago, there was langsat tree near the seashore. The tree is the only one of the langsat tree that grows and exists there. Not far from that tree were grows is land erosion. Due to langsat tree is the only one that grow in that area, local resident named the village as Kampung Tanjung Langsat. Now, the site of erosion has been turned into Tanjung Langsat harbor jetty. In addition, even its known as Kampung Tanjung Langsat, the reality are no langsat tree was grows there until now.
