Before the colonization of the Spaniard, Buenavista was called “KATAHUGAN” because a lot of “NAWI” grown in this place that cause the first colonizer name this place. Katahugan is a kind of Nawi that is use for tying up. After then came the Spaniards who discovered the new name in exchange in Katahugan. While Spanish missionaries were at board sea, they saw environmental structure at the seashore of this place that cause them be amazed. This environmental structure is called “ANGAS” by the constituents of this place. They overlooked this Angas as a ship like but it is a big stone structure allegedly with cave inside of it. While continue sailing at the sea, their naked eye saw the amazing beauty of the falling down sun in the afternoon which is called Sunset.
