Catigbian, officially the Municipality of Catigbian, (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Catigbian; Tagalog: Bayan ng Catigbian), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 23,805 people.[3]
Llocated 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of Tagbilaran, Catigbian is an interior town north of Balilihan, south of Sagbayan and Tubigon, east of San Isidro and west of Batuan.
Catigbian was formerly known as San Jacinto, and officially changed to its current name in 1954.[4] Catigbian is named after a certain group of seed-bearing plants named "Katigbi" (Coix lacrymajobi), which grow abundantly.[5]
History
The town was founded in 1829 as one of the villages where rebels were resettled after the Dagohoy Rebellion had been suppressed. In 1903, when the province was reorganized, it was annexed to Balilihan but was made an independent municipality once more on 17 June 1949.[6] At that time there were only 15 barrios within the territorial limits compared to the 22 barangays it has now.
