Samboan, located on the southern tip of Cebu island, boasts a rich history dating back to the Spanish colonial era. Here's a glimpse into its past:

Early Inhabitants and Spanish Arrival:

There's debate about the origin of the town's name. Some say it comes from "sinamboang," a fishing method used during Spanish times. Others believe it was originally called "Canamucan" under the Spanish encomienda system.
Historical records suggest Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi's crew spotted Samboan while exploring Cebu in 1565.
Spanish Colonial Period:

Samboan played a crucial role in Spanish Cebu. It was a major town with a large territory encompassing Alegria, Ginatilan, and Malabuyoc (these towns were later separated).
The iconic Campanario de Antigua, a watchtower built in 1788, stands as a testament to this period. It served as a vital defense mechanism, alerting residents of incoming pirate attacks through the Tañon Strait.
The beautiful San Miguel Arcangel Church, established in 1784, reflects Spanish influence with its coral stone and wood construction and intricate artwork.

Samboan continued to develop after the Spanish era. It's known for its resilience and holds recognition for good governance within the Philippines.
