HISTORY OF MUNICIPALITY OF NASIPIT


The recorded history of Nasipit can be traced to as early as 1880 when it was declared a pueblo by the Spanish colonizers. According to townsfolk, its name may be attributed to an incident where a native, just after being bitten by a crab, was asked the name of the place by an immigrant. Misunderstanding the question, the native answered “na-si-pit” meaning bitten by a crab. Since then, the town became known as Nasipit.
Nasipit was officially separated from the municipality of Butuan on August 1, 1929. It became a municipality by virtue of Executive Order No. 181 issued by Acting Governor General Eugene Gilmore of the U.S. Army. A proposal to change its name to Aurora was initiated by former Governor Teofisto Guingona Sr. but due to strong opposition from townsfolk, the name Nasipit was retained.

Or take a glance in a horizon when sky and deep blue sea meet in a distance. Chat your friend while sitting the chairs and see the shoreline as the sun began to set down. There were lots of Talisay trees in the background to shade us from scorching heat of the sun
