Manukan, officially the Municipality of Manukan, (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Manukan Subanon: Benwa Banukan), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 36,887 people.[3]

It is located 38 kilometres (24 mi) west of Dipolog City, the provincial capital, and 282 kilometres (175 mi) north-east of Zamboanga City, the regional capital.

History

During the Pre-Spanish era this town was inhabited by the Subanons. During the Spanish colonization, Manukan was a barrio, part of Dapitan (now City of Dapitan). In the creation of the municipality of Katipunan, this barrio became a barangay Banukan. Chickens were plenty and breeds that supply the northern part of Mindanao come from this town. "Manukan" word means poultry farm. The birth of the Municipality of Manukan was inaugurated on June 16, 1951 by virtue of Republic Act 655, duly signed by President Elpidio Quirino. In 1952, the barrios of Manukan, Lipras, Dipane, Linay, Mate, Sirongan, Libuton, Disakan, Siparok, Ponot, and Manawan of Katipunan were formed into the town of Manukan.[4]

Sitio Libuton became a barangay in 1954.[5]

Lipras was renamed San Antonio in 1957.[6]
