Kampung Naga is a village inhabited by a group of people who are very strong in holding the traditions of their ancestors, in this case Sundanese custom. Like Badui settlements, Kampung Naga was the object of anthropological studies on the life of the Sundanese rural people during the transition from the Hindu influence to the influence of Islam in West Java.

There is no historical clarity, when and who was the founder and what formed the background of the formation of a village with a strong culture. The residents of Naga village themselves call the history of their village the term 'Pareum Obor'. Pareum if translated in Indonesian, means dead or dark. And the torch itself means lighting or lights.
