EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUNICIPALITY
A coastal town having a coastline 14 kilometers long, this town is located at the northern part of
the province. It has a good port of entry where ferry boats are plying daily from Cebu and back
carrying passengers and cargoes.
The early settlers called the place 'Tubigan' meaning having water or watery because the community
was always submerged in water when rivers overflows its banks during rainy seasons. Later, this was
changed to 'Tubigon' meaning a place abounding in water, because under the fertile soil there is
plenty of water aside from the many springs and streams of the town. At present these sources of
water are converted into a giant irrigation dam to regulate the flow of supply of water to the
ricefields.
