Brief History of Calaon City

There are many legends on how the city really got its name. But seeing it in a realistic way, Canlaon got its name from the famous Mt. Kanlaon that separates the regions of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental in the norther part of Negros Island. Before it got its present name, Canlaon City was known as Sitio Mabigo. It was called as such due to the Bigo trees that surrounded the area. By the year 1946, Sitio Mabigo became an official municipality and a year later on, it became an official city.

Mount Kanlaon

The story of the ever-famous volcano in Negros Oriental goes that two lovers who were deeply in-love died fighting for their love for one another by choosing death rather than being apart. The majestic sloping curves of the volcano symbolized the tow lovers who are connected as one even after death. Mt. Kanlaon is 2,435 m, and is recorded as the highest volcano not only in the Negros Island but in the whole Visayas as well.
