The other premier towns were Naga, Quipayo and Nabua. The Spaniards who first came to this place asked the men who were splitting bamboo about the name of the area, and since they did not understand the language, they thought they were being asked about the name of the bamboo, so they got the answer "Bu-la." And so Bula became the name of the town. However, it was only in 1578 when the natives were Christianized, so the National Historical Commission dates back the town's history to 1578.

Bulă
Bulă () is a fictional stock character of Romanian humor. Bulă, a buffoon and coward, was "born" during the Nicolae Ceaușescu regime of Communist Romania. The name, among other interpretations, is a one-letter deformation of "pulă", a Romanian vulgar slang for "penis". Bulă is young, he is funny, he has an attitude, and he has an answer for everything. He can be a hero with modesty and, equally, he can fail with dignity; no one can firmly say whether he is stupid or just a trickster. Bulă is the descendant of Păcală and , friend of , less educated, but with an equally sharp tongue.
