    History[edit]
    The first settlers in Tubigon settled along the shores of the river that flows through the community.
    Their exact origins are unknown but they are thought to be early Malays from southeast
    Asian countries, migrating to the Philippines in small bangkas. Seasonal overflowing of the river
    flooded the community and led the place to be called "Tubigan" (meaning "place having water" or
    "watery"), which later morphed into "Tubigon" (meaning "place abounding in water"). The first record
    of the town of Tubigon dates from the early part of the 17th century.[6][7]

    In 1816, the community organized itself under a recognized headman, Yguiz Hutora, who was
    succeeded by teniente Mijares and by teniente Matong in 1818. A chapel was built on an elevated
    site of the settlement but had no officiating priest. A coadjutorof the Spanish friars from
    the Calape parish would perform the religious ceremonies.[6]
    In 1819, by authority of the Spanish Governor of Cebu, Tubigon was formally organized into an
    independent town by separating from the town of Calape, with Capitan Teniente Matong becoming
    the first gobernadorcillo.[6]

    Starting in 1852, the exact boundaries of the municipality were defined. On 8 March of that year, sitio
    Bacane was made the boundary between Tubigon and Inabanga. In 1856, the boundary with Calape
    was fixed at Mandaug. On 19 June 1865, the boundary between Tubigon and Catigbian was set at
    the Sampilangon River and on 14 September 1913, the boundary with Antequera (currently San
    Isidro) was fixed at sitio Tubod.[6]

    On 31 January 1919, Tubigon lost five barrios when Clarin was formed by virtue of proclamation
    by Governor Yeater.[6][8]

    Tubigon was badly affected by the 2013 Bohol earthquake, suffering 11 fatalities and damage to
    some 7,300 homes, as well as total destruction of its town hall and church. [
