<![CDATA[Community development is an effort to enhance community awareness, participation, and self-reliance in developing a region's potential. One form of community development involves preserving and disseminating information regarding village history. Local history plays a crucial role in shaping community identity and strengthening the understanding of regional cultural heritage (Setyawan et al., 2021; Setiawan & Kurniasih, 2025). Jipang Village, in Cepu District, possesses historical and cultural significance linked to the figure of Arya Penangsang (or Aryo Jipang), who is integral to the area's historical identity. The legacy of Arya Penangsang is also embedded in the collective memory of the Cepu community (Waluyo, 2021). Consequently, students participating in the Student Community Service (KKN) program implemented an initiative to create a historical information board for Jipang Village, serving as an educational and informational resource for both residents and visitors. This program aims to increase public knowledge about the village's history, foster a sense of ownership regarding local identity, and support efforts to preserve Jipang Village's history and culture. The program was executed through several stages: identifying needs, gathering historical information, compiling content, creating the design, fabricating the information board, and installing it at a strategic location. The activity involved KKN students, the village government, and the local community. The outcome is a historical information board that serves as both an educational tool and a means to showcase the identity and historical potential of Jipang Village. This program is expected to provide sustainable benefits to the community and serve as a contribution by KKN students toward developing the village's local potential.]]>
