History

Batu Putih beach in Meulaboh

Naming Meulaboh allegedly associated with the location adjacent to the sea and can be tricked or dumped the ship. H. M. Zaninuddin in the book Tarich Atjeh and the archipelago noted, this area was originally known as Sand Sands State.

According to some opinions, Sand Sand State is estimated to have existed since the 15th century or during the reign of Sultan Saidil Mukamil (1588-1604). At that time began to open pepper plantations, but the country is not so crowded because it can not compete with the Singkil Land which many stop by merchant ships to contain incense and camphor. The naming of Pasir Karam to Meulaboh, as described by Zainuddin in his book, is closely related to the story of the landing of a number of immigrants from Minangkabau. The word "Meulaboh" itself in Dictionary Aceh-Indonesia compiled by Aboe Bakar, et al means: "anchored" or "berth". In the opinion of this version, since then the Land Pasi Karam gradually known as Meulaboh, which is linked with the story of the arrival of Minangkabau landers.
