Leon B. Postigo, officially the Municipality of Leon B. Postigo (Cebuano : Lungsod sa Leon B. Postigo; Subanen: Benwa Leon B. Postigo; Chavacano: Municipalidad de Leon B. Postigo; Tagalog : Bayan ng Leon B. Postigo), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 27,639 people.^[3]

History

In the early 1980s, the councils of six barangays , along with residents of Maras, in the then southern Sindangan demanded for a new municipality, which was originally proposed to be called Talinga, with the barangay with the same name, located 11 kilometers from Poblacion, to be the seat of government. The proposed municipality was to intervene the distance of Sindangan and Salug from each other, which were about 40 kilometers.^[5]

Then assemblyman Guardson R. Lood sponsored Parliamentary Bill No. 300, which was also co-authored by eight other assemblymen.^[5] The bill was approved as Batas Pambansa Blg. 204 on March 25, 1982; 17 barangays in southwestern part of the mother municipality, but excluding Maras,^[5] were separated to create the municipality, originally named Bacungan, with another barangay with the same name, which was not included in the original plan,^[5] to be the seat of government.^[6] A plebiscite for ratification, along with ten more newly-created local entities including nearby Godod, was held on May 17, coinciding with the barangay elections.^[7]

It was renamed to its current name by virtue of Republic Act No. 6830 on December 30, 1989,^[8] in honor of Leon Bayot Postigo, a Philippine Constabulary corporal whose 10-hectare lot in the town was donated by his heirs to the local government.^[9]
