Geography of Ozamis City
*Coordinates: 08°09′N 123°51′E
Ozamiz City is approximately within the geographical coordinates 123⁰39’50”
and 123⁰52’45” east longitude and 08⁰04’05” and 08⁰12’30” north latitude. It is
located at the southern part at the province of Misamis Occidental and is nestled at
the western side of the entrance of Panguil Bay in Region 10 in Northwestern
Mindanao.
 
It is bounded on the North by the Municipality of Clarin; on the east by Iligan
Bay and Panguil Bay, separating the city from the two (2) geographically proximate
cities that are Cagayan de Oro and Iligan; on the south by the city of Tangub and
on the west by the Municipality of Don Victoriano. It has a total territorial land area of
Sixteen Thousand Four Hundred Seven (16,407) Hectares excluding the contested
areas that are not yet resolved.
 
Ozamis (Ozamiz) City is characterized by its low flat elevation in urban areas rising in
gentle slope westward as it approaches the interior. The terrain toward the western
boundary bordering the Municipality of Don Victoriano and Tangub City (passing the
buffer zones of the delineation of Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park which was
proclaimed as national park and watershed reserve by virtue of Republic Act 6266),
is particularly rugged and very sparsely settled as hills and rolling lands are among
its physical features.
 
The elevation of Ozamiz City ranges from the flat lowland of the poblacion
and its coastal barangays at about 1.9 meters above sea level to 562.55 meters
above sea level of the nearest barangay approaching Mt. Malindang, Barangay
Gala. Other highly elevated barangays are Guimad, Trigos and Sangay Daku having
an elevation of 432.25 meters and 235.43 meters respectively (Table III-1). It is not
surprising that the climates in these particular barangays are noted to be cool and
chilly, the inviting charms that made them a promising potential for tourist
development.
 
Mt. Malindang, the landmark of the city and of the province of Misamis
Occidental has the highest elevation of approximately 2,411 meters above sea level.
The mountain serves as a protecting wall against typhoons and strong winds.

==History of Ozamis (Ozamiz) City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines==
Misamis was an old town which originated as far back as the Spanish Era and was conquered strangely not by force of arms but through faith by some Jesuit Missionaries. The origin of the name “Misamis” is believed to have been derived from the Subano word “Kuyamis” which is a variety of sweet coconut that thrived in the area. During the years, the name persisted as an inference of geographical location and upon the advent of the Spanish settlers, the word “Kuyamis” easily gave way to the m ore conveniently pronounceable but corrupted word “Misamis”.


==Location of Ozamis City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines==
In 1757, heightened by the piratical raids in the coastal towns of the archipelago, Misamis was chosen as the principal anchorage in Mindanao by the Spanish conquestadores. Because of its strategic location, Jesuit Father Jose Ducos built a stone fort of “Cotta” or fortress which took many years to complete and still stands today. It served as the main bastion of a big Spanish task force against the Muslim s and the Portuguese. This fort becam e the nucleus of the town of Misamis which subsequently became an ecclesiastical center of northern Mindanao. Its patron saint is the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Immaculate Conception. With the town and fort established at Misamis, the seat of the Military Government was transferred from Iligan to Misamis. The Jesuits maintained a strong fleet under the flagship “Triunfo”. They called the bastion “Triunfo” and the image of Our Lady, as Nuestra Senora del Triunfo dela Cruz” . The Recollect Fathers undertook the spiritual ministration of Misamis in 1769.

==History of Ozamis City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines==
In 1850, the town of Misamis became the capital of the District of Misamis, then composed of the present provinces of Zamboanga del Norte, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon and Camiguin. After the Filipino-American War, the Americans established a civil government in Misamis on May 15, 1901.
The beginning of Ozamis City
In 1912, the Philippine Independent Church gained a foothold although the Catholic missionaries had been established earlier in the province. In 1920, when many settlers from Bohol and Cebu arrived in Mindanao, the town of Misamis became a trading center.


==People of Ozamis City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines==

==Local Government Unit LGU of Ozamis City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines==
The Occidental comprised the towns of Baliangao, Lopez Jaena, Tudela, Clarin, Plaridel, Oroquieta, Aloran, Jimenez, and Misamis . Misamis was a municipality when Tangub City was created out of its (Misamis’) area in 1929.
In a bloody battle at the outbreak of World War II, the Japanese troops encountered the Filipino soldiers under the command of Major Lucas Naranjo in Baga. On May 18, 1943, the Women’s Auxiliary Service led by Josefa Borromeo Capistrano was organized.
