Ferrol, Romblon
Ferrol, officially the Municipality of Ferrol, is a 6th class municipality in the province of Romblon, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 8,005 people. History Ferrol was established in 1850 as a barrio of Odiongan by the Spanish colonial authorities. They discovered the place 10 kilometers south-west after repulsing and chasing a convoy of Muslim pirates that attacked Odiongan. The Spaniards noticed the resemblance of the bay of the vicinity similar to that of Ferrol, Spain, which is the home port of Spain's Maritime Department of the North; hence the town's name. In 1978, in order to consolidate the Onhan-speaking barangays of Odiongan into one municipality, Assemblyman Nemesio Ganan Jr. authored a bill in the Congress of the Philippines which created Ferrol, together with the barangays of Agnocnoc, Bunsoran, Hinagoman, Tubigon, and Claro M. Recto into a new municipality. On 11 June 1978, Ferrol formally became the 16th municipality in Rombl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
