'''Consolacion''' (colloquially ’Lacion) is a 1st<ref>[http://www.nscb.gov.ph/activestats/psgc/municipality.asp?muncode=072219000&regcode=07&provcode=22 National Statistical Coordination Board], Municipality "ActiveStats".</ref> class [[Philippine municipality|municipality]] in the [[Philippine province|province]] of [[Cebu province|Cebu]], [[Philippines]]. It is about {{convert|12.5|km}} from [[Cebu City]], forming part of the [[Metro Cebu|Cebu Metropolitan Area]]. Consolacion stretches some {{convert|15|km}} from north to south and the width at its widest point approximately {{convert|5|km}}, lying within the north latitudes at 10° 29' and the east longitudes of 123° 55' and 124° 00' geographical frame. Consolacion is bounded on the north by the municipality of [[Liloan, Cebu]], on the south by the city of [[Mandaue]], on the east by the Mactan Channel and on the west by the city of Cebu and the municipality of [[Compostela]].


'''Consolacion''', officially the '''Municipality of Consolacion''' ({{langx|ceb|Lungsod sa Consolacion}}; {{langx|tl|Bayan ng Consolacion}}), is a [[municipality of the Philippines|municipality]] in the [[Philippine Province|province]] of [[Cebu]], [[Philippines]]. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 148,012 people.{{PH census|current}}
== History of the municipality ==
The [[Municipality]] of Consolacion used to be a component [[barangay]] first founded in 1871 with a [[population]] of 14,248 under the leadership of Juan Villamor. Before this, it was only a [[barrio]] of the municipality of [[Mandaue]]. Consolacion became a separate [[town]] in 1871. However, in 1902 and 1903, unable to maintain her status as an independent [[municipality]], she again became a part of [[Mandaue]].


Consolacion is bordered on the north by the town of [[Liloan, Cebu|Liloan]], to the west by [[Cebu City]], on the east by the [[Camotes Sea]], and on the south by the city of [[Mandaue, Cebu|Mandaue]]. It is {{convert|12|km}} from Cebu City and {{convert|5|km}} from Mandaue.
Finally in 1920, Consolacion was again made an independent [[municipality]] after a petition for its restoration into a separate town, was granted by the [[governor]]. So grateful were the townspeople to the Spanish governor that they named their new town after his daughter - Consolacion. And they also chose [[San Narciso]] as their [[patron saint]], the namesake of the governor’s wife, Narcisa.


==Etymology==
A year after the construction of the Casa Real or municipal hall, the people built their first church. Because it was made of wood, nipa, and bamboo, it was totally damaged by a [[typhoon]] in 1888. A second one was built when Father Blas Adan was parish priest. It was destroyed also by a typhoon in 1892. Fr. Banzon built a third one just before [[World War II]], which was already in its present site.
The town's name came from the name of daughter, ''Consolacion,'' of the then-[[Governor of Cebu|Cebu governor]] when it was re-established as an independent municipality in 1920.


== History ==
The present municipal hall is already the third one. The first was destroyed by the [[typhoon]] of 1892. The second one was also destroyed by the [[Japan]]ese during [[WWII]]. Today, Consolacion is a robust residential urban [[municipality]] with a vigorous economy, providing a place to live for staff employed in the neighbouring cities of [[Mandaue]], [[Lapu-Lapu]] and [[Cebu]].
Consolacion was a component barangay first founded in 1871 with a population of 14,248. Before this, it was only a [[barrio]] of the municipality of [[Mandaue]]. The barrio, formerly named "Kampi-ig" named after a kind of crab living in mangroves, which was abundant in the area, became a separate town in 1871. However, in 1902 and 1903, unable to maintain its status as an independent municipality, it reverted to Mandaue.


In 1920, Consolacion was again made an independent municipality after a petition was accepted by the governor. So grateful were the townspeople to the Cebuano governor that they named their new town after his daughter – Consolacion – and they also chose [[Narcissus of Jerusalem|San Narciso]] as their [[patron saint]], the namesake of the governor's wife, Narcisa.
== Geography and population ==
Consolacion is subdivided into 21 [[barangays]] distributed on its approximately 3,900 hectares area and space. Seventy percent of the total area of the town is above or highland mountains 18 percent foreshore land. The contours are irregular and the highest point is a bout 500 meters above sea level.


A year after the construction of the ''Casa Real'' or municipal hall, the people built their first church. Because it was made of wood, nipa, and bamboo, it was totally destroyed by a typhoon in 1888. A second one was also destroyed by a typhoon in 1892. A third one was built just before [[World War II]], on its current site.
The population of Consolacion is fast-growing with an intercensal growth rate of 50.45% from 1980 to 1990. Annual average growth rate in 1980-1990 is 4.16%. Population density in 1990 is 980.7 persons per square kilometer while in the recent survey shows 1.262. The demographic distribution profile of Consolacion shows a densely populated lowland barangays and sparsely populated upland [[barangays]] within the commercial area along the existing national highway.

Today, Consolacion is a robust residential urban municipality with a vigorous economy, providing a place to live for people employed in the neighboring cities of Mandaue, [[Lapu-Lapu, Philippines|Lapu-Lapu]] and [[Cebu]].
Consolacion's recent economic trend is towards the development of operation of housing/subdivision facilities even with the presence of several medium size manufacturing industries. Consolacion is touted to become a residential urban [[municipality]] in the next 5–10 years.

To protect farmers and the folks from the sun and the rain, the sarok, a conical hat made from bamboo strips and dried banana leaves, becomes the needed fad for the people of Consolacion especially that the town is an agricultural land. The festival was traditionally celebrated every February 14 to coincide with its charter day celebrations but this now celebrated in October. However, the Sarok Festival evolved into a free interpretation dance, with the musical concept inspired from the Miligoy de Cebu, a published Filipino folk dance originating from the same place.

Consolacion, officially the Municipality of Consolacion (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Consolacion; Tagalog: Bayan ng Consolacion), is a municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 148,012 people.[3]

Consolacion is bordered on the north by the town of Liloan, to the west by Cebu City, on the east by the Camotes Sea, and on the south by the city of Mandaue. It is 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from Cebu City and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from Mandaue.

Etymology

The town's name came from the name of daughter, Consolacion, of the then-Cebu governor when it was re-established as an independent municipality in 1920.

History

Consolacion was a component barangay first founded in 1871 with a population of 14,248. Before this, it was only a barrio of the municipality of Mandaue. The barrio, formerly named "Kampi-ig" named after a kind of crab living in mangroves, which was abundant in the area, became a separate town in 1871. However, in 1902 and 1903, unable to maintain its status as an independent municipality, it reverted to Mandaue.

In 1920, Consolacion was again made an independent municipality after a petition was accepted by the governor. So grateful were the townspeople to the Cebuano governor that they named their new town after his daughter – Consolacion – and they also chose San Narciso as their patron saint, the namesake of the governor's wife, Narcisa.

A year after the construction of the Casa Real or municipal hall, the people built their first church. Because it was made of wood, nipa, and bamboo, it was totally destroyed by a typhoon in 1888. A second one was also destroyed by a typhoon in 1892. A third one was built just before World War II, on its current site.

The present municipal hall is already the third one. The first was destroyed by the typhoon of 1892. The second one was also destroyed, by the Japanese during World War II. Today, Consolacion is a robust residential urban municipality with a vigorous economy, providing a place to live for people employed in the neighboring cities of Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Cebu.
