  ## History
  
  In the 18th century, the village was called Timeema meaning "Let's build" in the local dialect. Satanbla who was a hunter discovered the place and built a trend. He was later joined by others from the Wulugu village because of how fertile the land was. The people who joined him would ask "how much to build" and Satanbla would say "Timeema". Because he was the first to discover the place, he became the village leader.
