Talking about the history of the origin of Tappalang, there are several versions. including that in ancient times around the 12th century AD, a man known as Tambuli Bassi with a group travelled from Tabulahang through Tanete Tambottu until he finally arriveded at a place, that is known by the local community by the name of Karatuang. This was the end of the journey of Tambuli Bassi and with a stick made of golden bamboo he said in the dialect Padi (Pitu Ulunna Salu): “diam inde tampa lalangtaq” or here is the end of our journey, so Tampalang atua Tappalang is the end of the road.
