Rich History

Iligan City started from a village called Bayug found in about four kilometers from the new city center. The settlers of the town were mainly natives as well as sea-dwellers. When the 16th century arrived, changes also took place brought about by the coming of the migrants from the Visayas. In 1565, the expedition of Legazpi took place, bringing another series of changes in the area. Thus, the name “Iligan” was derived from the Higaonon word “ilijan,” which means “fortress of defense.”

With the total land area of 314.04 square miles, the city can accommodate the local settlers along with other migrants from other cities and provinces. Hence, the dominant language is the Iliganons, Marano, Tagalog, and other words used by the immigrants. The various or combined languages used in the city give way to the mixture of traditions, cultures, and people. Due to this, except that the place offers a diverse, colorful, and vibrant environment.

Festivities

Every 29th of September, the monthlong celebration of the Diyandi Festival is held in the city. As a way of giving thanks and honoring Saint Miguel de Archangel as their patron, they throw this festivity as a form of celebration.
