San Fernando, officially the Municipality of San Fernando (Cebuano: Lungsod sa San Fernando; Tagalog: Bayan ng San Fernando), is a second-class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 72,224 people.
San Fernando is bordered to the north by the City of Naga, to the west is the town of Pinamungajan, to the east is the Cebu Strait, and to the south is the city of Carcar. It is from Cebu City.
San Fernando lies within Metro Cebu.
The town was established in 1858 following the separation of the barrios of Magsico, Cabatbatan, Balungag, Sangat, Panadtaran, and Pitalo from Naga, with an initial population of nearly 3,000 people. The town was initially named San Isidro Labrador before changing to San Fernando in honor of a well-liked priest, Father Fernando Sanchez and his namesake saint.[1]
San Fernando is politically subdivided into 21 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
San Fernando is home to the PHIVOLCS Visayas Cluster Monitoring Center for Earthquake and Tsunami located in Purok 11-Santan, Barangay North Poblacion.[2]
