A SHORT HISTORY
OF
OF
The town derived its name from a native term, "balang-balang" which refers to the linked arms of the natives formed as improvised seat to carry/ferry Spaniards in crossing the river. The name "balang-balang" was shortened to "bang-bang" which eventually became "Balamban." The Spaniards first settled in Barangay Nangka, where traces of excavated stone tablets were found and believed to be housing construction materials popular in those early days.
LOCATION
The Municipality of Balamban is situated 21 statute miles or 31 kilometers N 40 degrees, 30

Compostela on the east, and by Tanon Strait on the west.
