Surigao City Property Forum 2.11

Surigao City officially the City of Surigao (Filipino: Lungsod ng Surigao; Surigaonon: Siyudad nan Surigao; Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Surigao), is located at the north-easternmost tip of Mindanao in the Philippines and the capital of the province of Surigao del Norte. The absence of a fort in Surigao belies its significance and sphere of influence during the Spanish period. It was the capital of the expansive province of the same name from 1750 until its dissolution in 1911, covering a third of Mindanao Island's total land area. It is one of the oldest port towns in Mindanao, founded by Spanish colonizers in 1655.
