DAPITAN CITY
OVERVIEW From a small town replete with history, Dapitan took a
giant step forward and became a chartered city by vitrue of
Republic Act #3811 which was signed by the President
Diosdado Macapagal on 22 June 1963, thus becoming the
first city in the province of Zamboanga del Norte. It is
officially known as the "Shrine city of the Philippines".
There are 2 versions of how Dapitan got its name. One is
from Fr. Urdaneta, who called the place "Daquepitan"
which was later changed to "Dacpitan" and still later to
"Dapitan" because of the difficulty in pronouncing the
former. The second version is derived from the word
"Dapit" which means "to invite" in the local Cebuano
dialect. Dapitan City lies on the Northern tip of Zamboanga
del Norte and northwestern coast of the island of Mindanao
with approximate geographical coordinates of 8o50’ North
latitude and 123o30’ East longitude.

HISTORY
Dapitan traces its beginnings long before
the Spanish conquistadores set foot on the
island of Mindanao. Its earliest settlers
were the Subanens, a nomadic tribe of
Indonesian stock known to have settled
and lived along the banks of the river or
“suba” out of which their present day
tribal identify originated.

Rizal lived in exile in far-away Dapitan, a

remote town in Mindanao which was under
the missionary jurisdiction of the Jesuits,
from 1892 to 1896. This four-year
interregnum in his life was tediously
unexciting, but was abundantly fruitful
with varied achievements (Zaide, 2008).
