Album Info:
(DSC08813) Etymology of Bacolod: Bacólod (English: Bacolod), is derived from bakólod (Old Spelling: bacólod), the Old Hiligaynon or Old Ilonggo (Old Spelling: Ylongo and Ilongo) word for a "hill, mound, rise, hillock, down, any small eminence or elevation", since the resettlement was founded on a stony, hilly area, now the barangay of Granada. It was officially called Ciudad de Bacólod (English: City of Bacolod) when Municipalidad de Bacólod (English: Municipality of Bacolod) was converted into a city in 1938. In 1889, Bacolod became the capital of Negros Occidental when the Province of Negros was politically divided into the separate provinces of Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental.
