Legazpi Philippines History
Legazpi City was named after Miguel López de Legazpi, the Spanish conquistador who conquered the Philippine islands in 1565.
Legazpi City was founded by ancient settlers and in 1616, early Spaniards transformed the village into a separate town and parish called Albay. Its first parish priest built a small chapel and established the "Mission de San Gregorio Magno de Sawangan".
The eruption of Mayon Volcano on February 1, 1814, forced town inhabitants to settle in nearby Taytay (now Bagumbayan). Some of the people remained in the old town and began anew as a barrio. They seeked support of the Spaniards and as a sign of gratitude, they readily accepted the name Legazpi for the town proposed by the Spaniards.
On September 22, 1856 this Old Albay town was given the name of Legazpi and was opened to world trade.
In 1941, Japanese troops landed and occupied Legazpi City. In 1945, American and Filipino liberation forces supported by Bicolano guerrillas liberated Legazpi City from Japanese Imperial forces during the Second World War.
