According to the {{PH wikidata|population_as_of}}, it has a population of {{PH wikidata|population_total}}.<ref name=NSO10/> The first settlers of Calape were said to be migrants from Cebu, and from other municipalities of Bohol.
'''Calape''', officially the '''Municipality of Calape''' ({{langx|ceb|Munisipyo sa Calape}}; {{langx|tl|Bayan ng Calape}}), is a [[municipality of the Philippines|municipality]] in the [[Philippine Province|province]] of [[Bohol]], [[Philippines]]. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 33,079 people.{{PH census|current}}


Its name is derived from ''cape'', referring to either a species of [[rattan]] or to the local varietal of coffee, [[Kape Barako]], both of which still grow abundantly there to this day.<ref name=history>{{cite web|title=Historical Background|url=http://calape-bohol.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=132|publisher=Municipality of Calape|accessdate=3 October 2012}}</ref>

==Geography==
==History==
The town center faces the [[Cebu Strait]] on the western side of [[Bohol (island)|Bohol Island]], about {{convert|41|km}} from [[Tagbilaran]]. The jurisdiction of Calape includes the islands of Pangangan (eight barangays) and Mantatao, as well as two uninhabited islets, Poom Island and Basihan Island.<ref name=about>{{cite web|title=About Calape: quick info |url=http://calape-bohol.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=29|publisher=Municipality of Calape|accessdate=3 October 2012}}</ref>


By the time Spaniards arrived, there was already a native settlement in Calape. In 1802, the Spanish governor of Cebu established it as an independent municipality.
There are four rivers that flow through the territory: Tultugan and Liboron Rivers that drain into Calape Bay, and Calunasan and Abucayan Norte Rivers that drain into Tipcan Bay.<ref name=about/>


In 1957, the barangay of Abucayan Norte was created from the [[sitio]]s of Cabulihan and Cabinong, and the barangay of Abucayan Sur from the sitios of Rama and Bino. The sitios of Binogawan, Masonoy, Bentig, Cahayag, and Lawis were also constituted into barrios.
Most of the coastal area is a fairly level plain that gradually rises into rolling hills of [[Coralline rock|coralline limestone]]. The highest point in Calape is Mount Candungao in the eastern portion of the town, with an elevation of {{convert|500|ft|order=flip}} above sea level.<ref>{{cite web|title=Topography|url=http://calape-bohol.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=53|publisher=Municipality of Calape|accessdate=3 October 2012}}</ref>

Calape, officially the Municipality of Calape (Cebuano: Munisipyo sa Calape; Tagalog: Bayan ng Calape), is a municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 33,079 people.[3]

Its name is derived from cape, referring to either a species of rattan or to the local varietal of coffee, Kape Barako, both of which still grow abundantly there to this day.[5]

History

[edit]

By the time Spaniards arrived, there was already a native settlement in Calape. In 1802, the Spanish governor of Cebu established it as an independent municipality.

In 1957, the barangay of Abucayan Norte was created from the sitios of Cabulihan and Cabinong, and the barangay of Abucayan Sur from the sitios of Rama and Bino. The sitios of Binogawan, Masonoy, Bentig, Cahayag, and Lawis were also constituted into barrios.

Geography

[edit]

Calape is bounded by Loon in the west and Tubigon in the east. To the north, the town center faces the Cebu Strait on the western side of Bohol Island, 42 kilometres (26 mi) from Tagbilaran. The jurisdiction of Calape includes the islands of Pangangan (eight barangays) and Mantatao, as well as two uninhabited islets, Poom Island and Basihan Island.

There are four rivers that flow through the territory: Tultugan and Liboron Rivers that drain into Calape Bay, and Calunasan and Abucayan Norte Rivers that drain into Tipcan Bay.

Most of the coastal area is a fairly level plain that gradually rises into rolling hills of coralline limestone. The highest point in Calape is Mount Candungao in the eastern portion of the town, with an elevation of 150 metres (500 ft) above sea level.[6]

Barangays

[edit]

There are 18 barangays which form part of coastal area.
