Koto Tangah Subdistrict is the district with the largest area among other districts in the city of Padang. As the largest subdistrict, it has various potentials in terms of territory, tourism, markets, education, healthcare facilities, and others. In addition to these potentials, based on its history, Koto Tangah Subdistrict has been considered important long before it became the city center. This can be seen from the emergence of prominent figures, especially during the physical revolution era. During this period, various movements occurred to defend Indonesia's independence, and there were numerous instances of resistance from the Koto Tangah fighters in the form of guerrilla warfare. The guerrilla resistance is evident through the existence of the "Tugu Perjuangan Grilya Pejuang 1945" (Guerrilla Struggle Monument of the 1945 Fighters), located at Keluaran Lubuk Minturun, precisely at Simpang Tiga Lubuk Minturun. In this regard, it is important to provide education and outreach to the community, especially the younger generation in the Koto Tangah area, to instill a sense of nationalism in the nation's children. Therefore, it is essential to conduct education and outreach to the public about the significance of the monument as evidence of the people's struggle in Koto Tangah.
