History

It is said that Ayungon is derived from the name of a deaf man, “Ayung,” who cut down a “dungon” tree. Old municipal profiles refer to Ayungon as Todos los Santos though there are no legends to explain that Hispanic name, just as there are no tales elaborating on the ruins of apparently Hispanic fortifications on the Tampocon II shoreline, perhaps because Ayungon's colonial past was not entirely its own: for many years it was a mere barrio of Tayasan, until 1924 when Governor General Leonard Wood came to establish Ayungon as a full-fledged municipality.

Geography

Ayungon is located on the midriff of Oriental Negros’ northern stretch, approximately two hours from Dumaguete City.[5]

Of only three virgin forests said to be still remaining on Negros Island, one is located in barangay Banban.[5]
