How Crystal Cove got its name:
"Tigwatian Island"
This legendary island got its name from an
exotic sound that says "Tigwatian... Tigwatian..." from an unknown chirping bird that can
only be found in the island. Not so long time ago, people especially
fishermen, from the neighboring island would hear this exotic sound
that even up to now some staff of Crystal Cove would still hear the
singing of the birds.
Not so long ago, one night when the people were asleep, a
fisherman went sailing and upon his venture he heard a chirping sound
-- tigwatian, tigwatian, tigwatian. it was so beautiful that even the
sea and the trees dances with its rhythm. he went around searching for that beautiful
sound but after several hours he still coudn't find where that singing is coming from,
he then decided to leave. On his way home he all of sudden had an extraordinary and
unexplainable feeling of bliss. He looked back and saw unique kind of birds flying around the
island... singing... he believed that they were singing for their King.
