Poblacion Spring

This is believed to be the site of the town's first encounter with the Spanish colonizers. Also from oral accounts, the name Boljoon derived from the Cebuano word Boljo, denoting the movement of flowing water from the spring.

During the public consultation for validation of data, former Mayor Renato Amper, M. D. presented another version of how Boljoon got its name. From his account, the term Boljo-on comes from the word “nabulho�E which means subsidence. The reference to nabulho is more of describing the landscape of the Poblacion where a small land area is bordered by cliffs and slopes and sometimes jagged rock formation.
