About Baguio City

about baguio city

A Brief History of Baguio City, Philippines

Baguio was once a small village called Kafagway, inhabited by the Kankana-ey and Ibaloi tribes. Established by Spanish colonizers around 1846, it was later transformed by Americans after acquiring the Philippines in 1898. With Kennon Road completed and Camp John Hay constructed, Baguio flourished as a mining and recreational site.

On Sept. 1, 1909, Baguio was declared a chartered city and became the Summer Capital of the Philippines. The name Baguio comes from "bag-iw," meaning moss in Ibaloi. The city has Western influences due to its American colonization.

During WWII, Baguio was bombed by the Japanese and later became the last stand of Japanese forces in the Philippines. Gen. Yamashita surrendered at Camp John Hay in 1945, fueling legends of the Yamashita treasure hidden in the region.
