During the Spanish time, Sampaguita was not among the barrios of Solana since the place was only rice fields until such time that it got a name. There was one tree growing along the old road which is commonly known as the “Nangka Tree” in the dialect. All the people who passed by called the place “Nangka”. No one lives in the place.

But in those years its name Nangka was not its official name. When this was established as barangay it was named Sampaguita because of the existence of the beautiful and intelligent ladies in the barangay. It was associated with the national flower “Sampaguita” because this flower is sweet and pretty likened to a lovely lady residing in the barangay. All through the years it was proven especially during beauty contests in the municipal level, 2 the crown holder comes from Sampaguita as Miss Solana. And given the chance to present the Solanian in the provincial level the title holder can even make up to the top or one of the title holders as well. From then on, its name Nangka was forgotten. The residence and visitors now love its name Sampaguita.
