Mankayan, officially the Municipality of Mankayan (Ilocano: Ili ti Mankayan; Filipino: Bayan ng Mankayan), is a municipality in the province of Benguet in the Cordillera Administrative Region of the Philippines. The population was 37,233 at the 2020 census.[3] Template:PH electorate
The municipality is known as a mining town, being the location of several mines, including the Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company.[4][5]
Etymology
The name "Mankayan" is derived from Nancayan, the Hispanic term of the native name of the place, Nangkayang (which means "high up in the mountain").[4][5]
History
Pre-colonial period
Nangkayang was once a heavily-forested area. The natives of the surrounding settlements of Panat and Bag-ongan mined gold through the labon system, after its reported discovery in a river. Copper was later discovered by the end of the 16th century in Kamangga-an (location of present-day Lepanto).[5]
Spanish period
By the 1800s, the Spanish colonial government sent expeditions to survey the mines. On February 3, 1850, an expedition led by engineer Don Antonio Hernandez confirmed the presence of copper in Mankayan.
In 1852, Lepanto was established by the Spanish as a comandancia politico-militar,[5][6] composed of several rancherias which included Mankayan.[4]
A mining company was established by Señor Tomas Balbas y Castro in 1856, called the Sociedad Minero-Metalurgica Cantabro Filipino de Mancayan.[4] The company ceased operations in 1875.[5]
American period
Under the American rule, Mankayan remained under the jurisdiction of Lepanto, and later Lepanto-Bontoc until the latter's dissolution. Mankayan was later annexed to the sub-province of Benguet as a municipal district in 1913.[4][5]
The mining boom in Mankayan began in 1933, with American Victor Lednickey establishing the Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company on September 26, 1936.[4][5]
Second World War
In 1942, following the outbreak of the war, the Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company, together with the Suyoc Consolidated Mining Company, were taken over by the Japanese Mitsui Mining Company, which renamed the mines into "Mitsui Mankayan Copper Mines". The Mitsui Company controlled the mines until 1945.[4][5]
Post-war era
After the war, the Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company resumed the mining operations.[4][5]
Mankayan was converted from a municipal district into a regular municipality on June 16, 1955, by virtue of Republic Act 1302.[7][8]
