Burgos, officially the Municipality of Burgos (Surigaonon: Lungsod nan Burgos; tl|Bayan ng Burgos), is a 6th class municipality in the province of Surigao del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 4,185 people.
It is the smallest municipality in the province, both in population and area. Burgos is one of the two northernmost towns of Siargao Island. The other is municipality of Santa Monica.
Burgos was formerly a sitio known as Sipan and later Unidad. It was later renamed as Burgos when it became a barrio of the municipality of Numancia (now Del Carmen) in 1925, and later Sapao (now Sta. Monica).[1]
Burgos was converted into a town on November 29, 1965, but only lasted until February 17, 1966, as a result of an injunction filed by former Vice President Emmanuel Pelaez before the Supreme Court of the Philippines regarding the 77 newly created towns in the country. On June 17, 1967, Burgos was re-created as a municipality, consisting of barrios Burgos, Baybay, Bitang, Sipan, and San Mateo and sitios Patag, Natin-ao, and Mataub.[2]
Burgos is politically subdivided into 6 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks while some have sitios.
