Kabankalan, Component city in Negros Occidental, Philippines
The municipality extends over 699 square kilometers of land on the western part of Negros Island, bordering the Sulu Sea.
The Spanish colonial administration established an encomienda in the region during 1630, with Admiral Cristobal de Lugo y Montalvo as overseer.
The population of 200,198 residents communicates primarily in Hiligaynon and Cebuano languages, while maintaining the endangered Karol-an dialect.
The city connects to Bacolod and Dumaguete through regular public transportation services, with a domestic airport under construction.
The name originates from the Nauclea orientalis tree, known locally as Bangkal, which grows extensively throughout the municipal territory.
