Hikayat Aceh Barat and Meulaboh
This spirit has given birth to the soul of recording traces of ancestors in the City of Meulaboh and West Aceh Regency, regions that have a long and winding history in Aceh and Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to put together fragments of history, figures, traditions, cultural customs, economics, politics, etc., into a literature that can be presented in the realm of public reading so that it can be a reference for all levels of readers, from students, students, researchers, the government to the people.
West Aceh's past is a memory as well as learning as well as showing how the journey of West Aceh was strongly influenced by central policy. Community portrait
tempoe doeloe is a reflection of present and future life, because knowing the origin of the nation is a form of appreciation for the ancestors and wisdom of the past and can determine the steps of vision and mission towards a better future.
West Aceh from Aceh Selatan to Geurute, this was the beginning and now has been divided into many districts. In the colonial period,
the entire Aceh Residency area is divided into 4 (four) afdeeling, one of which is Afdeeling Westkust van Atjeh or West Aceh with its capital city Meulaboh.
Afdeeling Westkust van Atjeh (West Aceh) is an administrative area that covers the area along the west coast of Aceh, from Mount Geurutee to Singkil and Simeulue islands and is divided into 6 (six) spare parts, namely:

1. Meulaboh with the capital Meulaboh with Landschappen- (six) onderafdeeling, namely: 1 Meulaboh with the capital Meulaboh with Landschappen-
2. Calang with the capital Calang (and before 1910 the capital was Lhok Kruet) with Landschappen Kluang, Kuala Daya, Lambeusoi, Kuala Unga, Lhok Kruet, Patek, Lageun, Rigaih, Krueng Sabee and Teunom;
3. Tapaktuan with the capital of Tapak Tuan;
4. Simeulue with the capital of Sinabang with Landschappen of Teupah, Simalur, Salang, Leukon and Sigulai;
5. Zuid Atjeh with the capital city of Bakongan;
6. Singkil with the capital Singkil.
   And the year 2002 was the final division with the founding of Nagan Raya and Aceh Jaya Regencies. This is West Aceh in question, a parent district that has a long history and beautiful nostalgia.
   Meulaboh City is a very important part of the development of West Aceh Regency, Meulaboh is not only Johan Pahlawan but includes Johan Pahlawan all over Meureubo District and a esmall part of Samatiga District.
   With twelve sub-districts, Aceh Barat has many treasures to explore and document, from dances, places, figures, cultural customs and so on. This is documentation of the origin of naming, figures, education footprints and so on.

An area has traces of its past that need to be remembered:

Meanwhile, Meulaboh's portrait was previously recorded and enshrined with expressions of short songs by the public, we try to collect them and modify them so that they become more complete and illustrate what happened at that time. The following saga:

That is Meulaboh and Aceh Barat.
Meulaboh SPECIAL Meulaboh is nostalgic at the same time
the beauty in it, the landscape reminds many things one of them is Pantai Kasih with its Socio-Tank. Ditingkahi the morning sun that broke over Love Beach, orange-red enveloped the fishing boats that came out of Babah Krueng Cangkoi, the yellow color of the Socfindo tank lit up, the black shadow of the boat
fishermen with a dark background in the village of Kuala Tuha doused with lazy rays broke the morning sun that was still peeking, Meulaboh's charm that still remains today. Even though the tsunami was engulfed, the view was always a morning comrade of Meulaboh City, West Aceh. Now Meulaboh has changed, changed because of development and changed face because of the tsunami that came in 2004. It grimaced and made me sad to imagine Meulaboh's face be sentfore the tsunami, many pleasant things had been lost, but this loss was not only by the tsunami but also the changing times. The yearning of those who were born in the 50s to the Megaria building will no longer exist, once in this cinema was screened Indian films with shining stars when it was like Amitabachan, Rajesh Kana, Hema Malini, Anjab Khan. Films with roles that have to be exchanged with the National Building, Trikarya plays Indian films such as Maa, Sholay. The audience is amazing, dan
