Misamis (province)
Misamis was a province of the Philippines located in Mindanao. Originally a Spanish-era district, became a chartered province on May 15, 1901 ( Philippine Commission Act 128). The province was dissolved in 1929. History Misamis takes its name from an old settlement at the mouth of the Panguil Bay once populated by Subanen, now the city of Ozamiz. Misamis is believed derived from the term kuyamis, a term for a sweet variety of coconut. However, as a result of continued raids by Moros from Lanao, the Subanens retreated into the interior and Visayan and Bukidnon settlers occupied the coast. Misamis was part of the province of Cebu until it was made into separate corregimiento in the late 18th century. By 1818, Misamis was organized as a province covering the region from Dapitan in the west, up to Gingoog in the east and as far as Cotabato and Lanao del Sur in the south. Effective control, however, was limited to the coast. For most of the 17th and 18th centuries, Misamis remaine ...

In 2005, City Resolution 251-05 was passed to reiterate that it is officially spelled Ozamiz, not Ozamis. History The city of Ozamiz grew out of an old Spanish town called Misamis—a name believed to have been derived from the Subanen word "''Kuyamis''," a variety of coconut. Other unverified historical sources, however, suggest that the name Misamis came from "''Misa''" after the Catholic Mass.

The fort was constructed some time in 1756 in order to at ...
