Told, there is a village called Kampung Pematang Panjang, located on the banks of the river Blumei. The river is a means of traffic that connects the Rantau Panjang trading center on the beach to Kampung Talun Kenas located in the upper Blumei river. For the Talun Kenas people with Karo ethnicity, when buying and selling to Pasar Rantau Panjang, on the way back, always stop by and rest in Kampung Pematang Panjang (Tanjung).

Without a clear cause, one day there was a dispute between some residents of Kampung Talun Kenas with some residents of Kampung Pematang Panjang. The dispute is unstoppable, even ending

with a fight. Villagers of Talun Kenas lost and they reported the incident to the village head. Vengeful resentment makes them agree, avenge defeat by way of attacking again. Then they send five spies who move at night, to know the field and the strength of the enemy.

At the time of doing the action, the spies feel very tired, then they lay down under a shady tree and grounded the tree's leaves. Apparently the leaf is a nyelu nettle leaf (the most itchy leaves). Not too long ago, the itching attacked them. The itching turns into pain by scratching their hands, so the investigation is stopped. Their mission failed miserably, they went back to Talun Kenas village without any fruit.

Resentment and guilt arise in their hearts. What can make, everything has happened outside the plan. Then they reported everything that happened to the chief. They also suggested that the attack be canceled, because they thought that the residents of Kampung Pematang Panjang (Tanjung) already know the evil plan they will do. They say, "It's better for us to stop our plan than to be hit by disaster, let alone the people, the trees are just laughing (angry) to us, the pain is unbearable, especially if the people laugh, unimaginable how sick, eyes affected by the nettle.

Subsequently, the chief sent them to Kampung Tanjung to apologize, as well as to ask the antidote for the illness they suffered. It turns out that good intentions get a good reception too. They are also forgiven by the people of Tanjung, while the antidote is enough to rub the ground into the itch.

Based on the event of merawanya trees, finally they added the word Tanjung with the word "merawa", so the village changed its name to Kampung Tanjung Merawa. The word merawa turns into 'Morawa', according to the speech of the Dutch who began to enter the village. Since then until now, the village is known as "Kampung Tanjung Morawa".
