Bokod, officially the Municipality of Bokod, (Ilocano: Ili ti Bokod; Tagalog: Bayan ng Bokod), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Benguet, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 14,435 people.[3]

History

Pre-colonial and Spanish periods

According to folklore, Bokod, once a heavily forested village, got its name from a man named Ebokot (or Ekbot), who introduced agricultural development to the area.[5] Ebokot's name was associated with the village and was registered as a pueblo during the Spanish Regime.[6]

American period

Bokod was established as one of the 19 townships of Benguet during the American Rule with the enactment of Act No. 48 on November 22, 1900.[5][6][7][8]

On August 13, 1908, Benguet was established as a sub-province of the newly created Mountain Province with the enactment of Act No. 1876. As a result, six townships of Benguet were abolished, among them were Ambuklao and Daclan which were integrated into the township of Bokod.[5][6][8]

Post-war era

One of the principal infrastructure in Bokod is the Ambuklao Dam. Built in 1950 and opened in 1956, it is one of the most important hydroelectric facilities in Luzon.

On June 25, 1963, President Diosdado Macapagal issued Executive Order No. 42 converting eight (8) of the thirteen (13) towns (designated as municipal districts) of Benguet sub-province into regular municipalities. Bokod was among them.[9]

On June 18, 1966, the sub-province of Benguet was separated from the old Mountain Province and was converted into a regular province. Bokod remained to be a component municipality of the newly established province.[10]

Bokod is located at 16°29′29″N 120°49′48″E / 16.4914°N 120.83°E / 16.4914; 120.83. It is bounded by Kabayan on the north-east, Atok on the north-west, Tublay on the mid-west, Itogon on the south-west, and Kayapa on the east.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 274.96 square kilometres (106.16 sq mi) [11] constituting 9.93% of the 2,769.08-square-kilometre- (1,069.15 sq mi) total area of Benguet.
