  **The origin of Jurug Village**

     Once upon a time, long ago in the kingdom of Kediri, there was a war between Jaya Katwang and the Tartar army. During the war, there was a person named Raden Handayaningrat who used the pseudonym Kyai Juru.  He left the kingdom of Kediri to the foot of Mount Wilis in the southwest, where the area was already inhabited by a number of residents who subsequently resided in the area and all of the descendants of Kyai Juru all used the title Kyai Juru.

      The great-grandson of Raden Handayaningrat is named Kyai Juru Tani, because of the leadership and authority of Kyai Juru, the natives and the surrounding community are very obedient and obedient to him.  Kyai Juru Tani has a daughter named Ambarwati who is very beautiful and wise.  Whereas one day the king of Pajang heard the news that at the foot of Mount Wilis in the southwest there was a Kyai who was very powerful and authoritative so that the King of Pajang said to his headmaster: "to prove the news".  With the sharpness of the six kyai Juru's senses, he could know the arrival of the Pajang envoy's soldiers. 
     To avoid unwanted things, Kyai Juru said to his daughter: "to wear the uniform of Kyai Juru and to claim to be Kyai Juru".  After the soldiers envoys from Pajang came to the kyai Juru and had an adequate interview, the soldiers were astonished and amazed that the so-called kyai Juru was a beautiful teenage princess dressed as a boy / Juru.  Then they excused themselves to return to Pajang, upon arrival at Pajang the envoys reported to the King and said: "It is true that at the foot of Mount Wilis there is a Juru named Kyai Juru but strangely what is called Kyai Juru is a very beautiful princess". 
     Hearing the report, the king immediately said to his soldiers: "for the second time to call and bring the princess to the King of Pajang".  Because of the sharp feeling of kyai Juru to know that there will be a second messenger from King Pajang with all the available powers (in Nglurug language) then Kyai Juru said to his daughter and several daughters / sentono: "to face the Pajang soldiers on the west side of the big river.  Madiun", and during the meeting there was a fierce battle between Pajang soldiers and Kyai Juru's envoys so that among the soldiers and the cantrik there were casualties, so the place of the incident was called Jiwan village.  
     Because of the many and strong attacks from the Pajang soldiers, the daughters of the kyai Juru along with the existing cantriks were forced to resign and precede the journey of the Pajang soldiers.  Arriving at the residence of the kyai, the princess reported: "that this place will be in Lurug by the Pajang soldiers for the second time".  Immediately Kyai Juru said to his daughter: "to dress in Kyai Juru's uniform and obey all the orders of the king of Pajang".

     Finally, after the Pajang soldiers came, the daughter of Kyai Juru was brought to the kingdom of Pajang.  Together with the incident of kyai Juru in Lurug, the Pajang warrior, Kyai Juru came up with the idea of naming the area he occupied by taking the term from the combination of the two words Juru in Lurug became JURUG, which was then used as the name of Jurug village to this day.  After the death of his daughter, Ambarwati, was brought to Pajang, Kyai Juru died.
