Kampong Tanjong Nangka

Tanjung Nangka is one of the most unique village names in Brunei. As is customary, Brunei's villages either had a number of names assigned to them in the past or the village itself had numerous place names, but only one was chosen to serve as the village's name. There were three prior names for Kampong Tanjung Nangka, but none of them are now in use. Most significantly, each name had a connection to a tree. Kampong Temiang is the first of Kampong Tanjung Nangka's three prehistoric names. One of the bamboo species, referred to in Brunei as temiang, used to be a common sight in the village.[4]

Another name for the area was Kampong Kayu Tinggi, which was derived from a very tall tree nearby (kayu tinggi means high wood). No one is aware of the identify of the tree, although it is claimed to have red, green, and black colored bark. Kampong Binjai Kumit is the final name. Local fruit known as binjai belongs to the same family as the mango. In this instance, a guy by the name of Kumit owned the binjai tree. Once more, it was claimed that the tree was exceptional, with finer fruits, a larger fruit size, and a taller tree than typical binjai trees.[4]

The area's nangka (jackfruit) tree served as the inspiration for the ultimate name of Kampung Tanjung Nangka. Once more, the tree was reported as being much larger than the typical jackfruit tree. Its circumference was supposed to be twice as wide as a man's arm, and its fruits were described as being as large as a Chinese vase of salted eggs and weighing up to 30 kilograms (66 lb). Several people from the nearby rural region came to visit the tree because it became so well-known. It was believed that a few people were drawn to it and chose to stay there in the anticipation that their luck may change there.[4]
