History
[edit]This Village used to be a village where almost all of its residents worked as farmers. All the villagers were very prosperous with fertile rice fields. At that time the village was experiencing a bumper harvest with abundant agricultural produce. The villagers seemed to forget the Creator because of this abundant harvest. A pest and disease then attacked the residents' agricultural crops in the following season. The pest was in the form of a fine powder like flour which immediately attacked and damaged the rice that was ready to be harvested. There was a massive crop failure which then threatened the lives of the local people due to starvation. The following season a local community leader, Buyut Kopek, named this village Bubuk, as a form of gratitude and asking for forgiveness from "Dewi Sri" (Goddess of Fertility) for reminding the community about the arrival of the pest and giving them an abundant harvest. The name Bubuk again reminds us of the incident where various agricultural crops were attacked by the powder pest.
Geography

One of the famous ones is Gumuk Kopek which is located on the border between Bubuk Krajan Hamlet and Warengan Hamlet.
