The name of Rice Island that we know now has its own story, mentioned Nasi Island because the rice island can be reached half a day from the mainland to go to the island of Nasi simply by bringing rice wrap (not stale), while the other island was forced to bring rice also called breh north and south breh island, still according to the community, the island of rice has its own name which we still find the writing on the maps - the maps made in the past is PEUNASO. The name PEUNASO for Nasi Island may be used to make it easier for people to remember, because the settlement of Nasi Island is closest to the mainland of Banda Aceh which can be reached quickly from the mainland of Aceh. It is said that the name Peunaso was given by Sultan Iskandar Muda who at the time before the preparation of his marriage with PUTRO PHANG send (PASOE - fill) people from the mainland Aceh who led by a noble known by the community as King Cage, maybe this title in use because the King resides in Alue Riyeueng village cage. whereas the real name of the King is not yet known. The purpose of sending these people is to farm the fruits and vegetables that will be brought for the voyage to Pahang, and the fruit is more in the designation as the fruit of the hand (Asoe Talam - Isi Talam) from a prospective husband (Linto Baroe) that is Sultan Iskandar Muda. Because the process ISI FILLING reciprocally this is the Sultan of Aceh called the island of rice with Peunaso Island (Island Pengisi). Most of the people dispatched by the Acehnese King did not want to return to the aceh land and asked for permission to remain on the island, because the condition of agricultural land on the island is so fertile that in the past there was a term that to farm on the island need to cultivate the land but enough by throwing the seeds only. No one knows when the name of the rice island is there, the name of the island of Rice or Peunaso Island. Along with the growth and development of the inhabitants of the aceh king, coupled with newcomers, led to initiatives in the community to divide the territories of the island of Nasi into several villages, one of which is called village (Deudap, Alue Reyung, Rabo , Lamteng and Pasi Janeng). The naming of village names has its own peculiarities for each village in naming in accordance with what is more prominent in one place eg DEUDAP is derived from the word DADAP, a kind of tree that was very much grown in the village of Deudap and used by the community for wood fence maker because this tree many stems in tumbuhi thorns so annoying animals are reluctant to approach as well as the names of other villages. Because of the relation with the history of the past so far we still often hear the term WOE (back) to the people of the island of Nasi generally going to the mainland of Aceh while their village is the island of Nasi Or Pulau Aceh.
