History of Minglanilla

Minglanilla was formerly called Buat. In 1858, it was formally established as a pueblo and renamed Minglanilla after a certain locality in Spain with the same name. Its first parish priest, Fr. Sanchez, is credited as the founder of the town.

Economy of Minglanilla

Minglanilla is fast becoming an urban center. It is in fact part of Metropolitan Cebu. A lot of commercial enterprises and subdivisions are located at or near the town center. In the mountain areas, residents maintain vegetable gardens, poultry and piggery farms.

The proposed Ming-Mori reclamation project is under way. If approved, some 100 hectares of reclaimed land along the shore of Minglanilla will soon become the home of a techno-park where industrial and commercial firms locate.
