Kapalong, officially the Municipality of Kapalong (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Kapalong; Tagalog: Bayan ng Kapalong), is a municipality in the province of Davao del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 80,731 people.[5]

History

[edit]

Through Executive Order No. 151 signed by President Elpidio Quirino, the town was founded on July 8, 1948,[6] from the Municipal District of Tagum, which was formed in 1918. It was one of the oldest towns in Davao del Norte Province, others being Tagum, in 1941; and Panabo, in 1949, both of which were converted into cities more than 50 years later. Though the towns of Santo Tomas, Talaingod and portion of what is now Sawata emerged from Kapalong in 1959, 1991, and 2004 respectively, it is still the largest town by land area in the province of Davao del Norte.

Geography

[edit]

All but one of Kapalong’s barangays are located in the southern part of the municipality near the Kapalong-Talaingod-Valencia National Highway. The much more sparsely populated north is administered under Barangay Gupitan covering a land area of 65,000 ha (650 km2) which makes it the largest barangay of the Philippines.[7]
