Clarin, officially the Municipality of Clarin (Cebuano: Lungsod sa Clarin; Tagalog: Bayan ng Clarin), is a municipality in the province of Misamis Occidental, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 39,867 people.[5]
The present territory of Clarin was once part of the former municipality of Loculan.[6] Through Act No. 951, issued by the Philippine Commission on October 21, 1903, which reduced the number of municipalities in the then-undivided Misamis province from 24 to 10, Loculan was effectively abolished after being joined with the municipality of Misamis.[7]
During the American occupation, the inhabitants in Loculan petitioned to be separated from Misamis and organized into two independent municipalities. Thus, Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison (through the efforts of Senator Jose A. Clarin)[8] issued Executive Order (EO) No. 61 on December 28, 1920, creating the municipality of Clarin, along with Tudela; Barrio Loculan became the seat of government. The organization became effective on the first day of 1921.[6]
In April 1924, by virtue of EO No. 20, Barrio Balicaocao in Tudela was transferred to Clarin.[9]
In 1982, through Batas Pambansa Blg. 171, Barangay Bagong Clarin was separated, becoming part of the newly created Don Mariano Marcos.[10]
