城市概覽

Ozamiz is located at the southern coastline of Misamis Occidental. It is bordered by Clarin to the north. Tangub to the southwest, and the Panguil Bay to the south and east. Across the bay is Kolambugan in the province of Lanao del Norte. The city has good harbor location.

History The city of Ozamiz grew out of an old Spanish town called Misamis. Misamis developed because of the Spanish garrison stationed at the stone fort called Fuerte de la Concepcion y del Triunfo, which was built some time in the 18th century to control the pirate activities in the nearby Lanao area. In 1850, the town of Misamis became the capital of the District of Misamis. In October 1942 Wendell Fertig established the command headquarters of the growing guerrilla resistance to the Japanese occupation of Mindanao in the Spanish fort in the town. His headquarters was abandoned June 1943, in the face of a large Japanese attack. Until the end of the war, the Japanese occupied this fort. After the Second World War, Misamis was renamed to "Ozamiz" after a World War II hero, José Ozámiz, who hailed from the province of Misamis Occidental and who at one time also served as its first governor and congressional representative of the Lone District of Misamis Occidental, as well as a delegate to the 1935 Constitutional Convention that resulted in the creation of the 1935 Constitution for the Philippine Commonwealth Government. In 1941, José Ozámiz was elected to the Philippine Senate.
