Calape is a third income class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 33,079.[3] The first settlers of Calape were said to be migrants from Cebu, and from other municipalities of Bohol.

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.[4]

Geography

The town center faces the Cebu Strait on the western side of Bohol Island, about 41 kilometres (25 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.[5]

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.[5]

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]

History

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.[4]

In 1957, Abucayan Norte was created from the sitios of Cabulihan and Cabinong, and Abucayan Sur from the sitios of Rama and Bino.[7] The sitios of Binogawan, Masonoy, Bentig, Cahayag, and Lawis were also constituted into barrios.[8]
