Municipality of the Philippines in the province of Bohol
Catigbian was formerly known as San Jacinto, and officially changed to its current name in 1954.[5] Catigbian is named after a certain group of seed-bearing plants named "Katigbi" (Coix lacrymajobi), which grow abundantly.[6]
History
The town was founded in 1829 as one of the villages where rebels were resettled after the Dagohoy Rebellion had been suppressed. In 1903, when the province was reorganized, it was annexed to Balilihan but was made an independent municipality once more on 17 June 1949.[7] At that time there were only 15 barrios within the territorial limits compared to the 22 barangays it has now.
