There is no official written history about this place. According to the local residents, this place was a swamp in paddy-field tens years ago. At that time, people though that this fountain only made disaster. Every rainy season the water blew up from the big source and made flood. The flood came endlessly then the Dutch tyrants had to handle it. The tyrants did some researches and finally found the source of disaster. The source was blocked with litters and straws. After that, a Banyan tree was stuck into the source in order to hold the water pressure.
The local governor has already planned to develop this place as a tourist attraction. According to the master-plan, a wide swimming pool will be built at the east side of the fountain. The water will be supplied from the fountain. In addition, next beside the swimming pool there will be a mini-zoo in order to make this place more attractive. Therefore, Sumber Sirah is a considerable place to visit.
