The Legend Of Banyuwangi

Once upon a time, there was a King named Sulahkromo. The king was helped by a Prime
Minister named Raden Sidopekso. The Prime Minister had a wife named Sri Tanjung. She was
so beautiful that the king really wanted to marry his wife.

One day, the King assigned his Prime Minister to a long mission. While the Prime Minister was
away from his wife, the King tried to get Sri Tanjung. However he failed and he was very angry.
Thus, when Sidopekso went back, the King told him that his wife was such an unfaithful wife.
Soon the Prime Minister was very angry with his wife. Sri Tanjung said that it was untrue but
Sidopekso didn't believe her and said that he would kill her. Then he brought his wife to the river
bank. Before he killed her and threw her into the river, his wife had said that her innocence
would be proven After Sidopekso killed her. After that, he threw her dead body into the dirty
river.

The shocking fact happened not long after that when the river immediately became clean and
began to spread a wonderful fragrance around. Sidopekso said, "Banyu...Wangi...or
Banyuwangi". This means "fragrant water". Banyuwangi was born from the proof of noble and
sacred love.
