Location

The village is situated east of the Poblacion District on the headwaters of the Tagoloan River. With a territory of 130.90 square kilometres, it is one of the largest barangays in the city. It is bounded to the north by Kibalabag; to the east by Caburacanan, Mapulo, Silae, and Barangay Freedom of Cabanglasan; to the south by Miglamin, Linabo, and San Jose; and to the west by Casisang, the Poblacion District, and Sumpong. Can-ayan is characterized by a mountainous terrain and steep hills with intermittent flatland and valleys formed by the Tagoloan, Malas, Tigbawan, and Taguican Rivers[5]. Most of the land is classified as forestland, at around 10,189 hectares; the remaining land is alienable and disposable[6].

The barangay is subdivided into five purok in the village proper and nine sitio scattered throughout its territory[6]. These are:

  • Kiito
  • Kilap-agan

History

Can-ayan was first settled by Higaonon people[8]; under Spanish rule, the village was incorporated into the pueblo of Oroquita del Interior[9]. Its first recorded teniente del barrio was Datù Ampelino Lito. The area served as a route to Silae, where Dominican and Jesuit missionaries established their communities there. Can-ayan maintained its organization even during the American and Japanese occupation of the country. After World War II, both the national and local governments gradually provided basic services to the village up to the present. With its growing population and the sprawl of urbanization from the city proper, Can-ayan is a prospective area for development.
