History


It could be said without fear of contradiction[opinion] that most names of the Municipality of Zamboanga del Norte including the province itself derived from the earliest settlers, the Subanon tribes.

In the earlier part of the history of Sindangan, there were two barrios: Labason and Liloy. Salug then was a mere sitio of the rustic village of Liloy. Legend has it then an adventurous young man from the village of Liloy, on reaching a certain river, was affronted the problem of crossing as there were no signs of available means to ferry him to the other side. While engrossed with this problem, a Subanon coming from nowhere he knew, made a sign asking him if he wish to cross the river. In return, he asked the almost naked Subano man the name of the place. The Subano man thinking he was being asked if there may be a possibility of crossing the river, answered "Salog", a Subanon terminology meaning that the current of the river was very strong.

In his departure, the Christian carried into his memory "Salug" is the name of the place beyond the other side of the river he wanted to cross. Thus Salug become a popular name until it was officially declared so upon its creation into a municipality.

By virtue of Republic Act 2310 dated June 21, 1979, the Municipality of Salug was created; however, Araw ng Salug (Salug Day) is annually celebrated on the 18th day of September,
