Borbon, officially the Municipality of Borbon (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Borbon; Tagalog: Bayan ng Borbon), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 38,187 people.
According to the Panublion publication, Borbon was established as a parish on 15 September 1862 and had San Sebastian as its patron saint. Today St. Sebastian's fiesta is celebrated every 20 January. Borbon was formerly a visita or an extension community of the town of Sogod. That is why many of the first settlers of Borbon were families whose roots can be traced back to relatives in Sogod.
In addition, describes the Borbon church made of wood and tabique resting on a base of mortar, dimensions NaNx. The church was thatched with grass. The original church is believed to have been one of the oldest churches in Cebu prior to its demolition after World War II.
The town was said to have been named after the Bourbon royal family, or a misinterpretation of the Cebuano term "Bonbon" which means pebbly sand, but the generally accepted history of its name is of legend.
Borbon is bordered on the north by the town of Tabogon, to the west by the town of Tabuelan, on the east by the Camotes Sea, and on the south by the town of Sogod.
Silmugi River is an eco-tourism site in northern Cebu. Located between the barangays of Poblacion and Cadaruhan, the river stretches for about 12km (07miles) between barangays Vito and Suba. It is where the rainwater from the many mountain barangays cascades and discharges into the sea.
The river played a big part during Borbon's formation as a town because in the past the river was known to be so big and wide that many boats traveled it.
Borbon is politically subdivided into 19 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
