Summer Capital of the Philippines

Early history

The region around Baguio was first settled primarily by the Ibalois and the

Kankanaeys . In the nearby town of La

Trinidad, Benguet , Spaniards established a zeus or military garrison, but Kafagway, as Baguio City was once known, was barely touched.

Baguio City was established by the

Americans in 1900 at the site of an Ibaloi village known as Kafagway. The name of the city is derived from the word bagiw in

Ibaloi , the indigenous language of the

Benguet Region, meaning 'moss'. The city is at an altitude of approximately 1,610 metres

(5,280 ft) in the Luzon tropical pine forests ecoregion conducive to the growth of mossy plants and orchids.
