EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY
For many years, little has been known of the City of Tagbilaran that nestles on a sea, protected
from the southwest monsoon by the island of Panglao and from the cold stream of the north wind by
the Maribojoc mountain range.
Tagbilaran was then part of the town of Baclayon until on February 9, 1742, when Governor-General
Gaspar dela Torre signed a decree separating her from Baclayon and establishing the town of San Jose
de Tagbilaran.
From then on, this once unheralded town has been under the mantle of the Province of Bohol until it
became a Chartered City on July 1, 1966 by virtue of Republic Act No. 4660.
[History of Tagbilaran]
Tagbilaran is bounded on its western and southwestern sides by 12.2 kms of coastline, on its north
by the town of Cortes, on its northeast side by the town of Corella and to its eastern side by the
town of Baclayon.
