ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE
Best of the Islands Philippines
BRIEF HISTORY
The early history of Zamboanga del Norte is shared with that of
Zamboanga City, which had been the center of the entire Mindanao area,
most notably, during the American Era. When Zamboanga City became a
chartered city on October 12, 1936, it encompassed the Zamboanga
Peninsula and the island of Basilan, making it the largest city in the
world in terms of land area.
This all changed in 1948 when Basilan was made into a separate province, and further, when Republic Act No.711, issued on June 6, 1952, created two more provinces out of Zamboanga City. One of these provinces was Zamboanga del Norte.
