Consider Klebakan: “Dark” History of My Dusun.

Consider Klebakan: “Dark” History of My Dusun.

I live in Klebakan a small area or dusun (dusun is part of village) in Salamrejo Village, Sentolo Distric, Kulon Progo Region, and Jogjakarta Province, Indonesia. Not much people know how this area was named. I am not found the sources which explain how this place was named. This made me want to know because it would be knowledge for the future generation or at least give me a light how is the history of my place. This is not research but I was try to open this by asking only one of old man who is still living (end of 2007 questions ) that I consider him know about it. His name is Mr. Padmo Suwarno last time he was ever become the leader in this area after this country got it independence in 1945. I guest this village growth after this region was opened and become part of Mataram Kingdom in the last 20 century (?).
He notes that the name of Klebakan was taking from a couple traditional leaders names that open this area. They are Kyai lebak and Nyai lebak. We can find the graveyard of them at east crossroad Ngelo part of Klebakan area. Instead of that Ngelo was named from Lo tree. He adds last time a lot of big bird like Bangau live on that tree. But that tree was dying now and we can’t find it trace around northwest Ngelo crossroad again.
Back to Klebakan my area. I am still thinking about Sumur Lebak existence also. Near Klebakan area in south west found a Lebak sites it is like an old water source. Now in 2009 that place still rounds by the sawah or place to grow rice plant. But this place is never be considering as the name of my places I don’t know why may be because of this sites is not familiar here. But some of people here care this place and build the fence around the sumur lebak and now we can see it better than before. I mean eye catching. Is the name of Lebak this no correlation with Klebakan? I am still doubt with this. Back to Mr. Padmo Suwarno I ever ask about the meaning of Lebak. He said that Lebak means wet because a lot of water there. But in fact now we can still find that this place is a sawah or wet place.
…… Yach! This is my places looks dark in its history. Anybody know about this? How about your place history? Share it with me guys! Thank you.
