Catarman, Provincial capital in Northern Samar, Philippines
Catarman extends across 55 barangays along the northern coast of Samar Island, with the Catarman River dividing the municipality into eastern and western sections.
The settlement, originally named Calatman, became one of 13 principal villages established by Spanish colonizers on Samar Island during their administrative organization of the region.
The University of Eastern Philippines in Catarman stands as the first state university established in the Visayas region, providing higher education to students across the province.
Catarman National Airport maintains connections with Clark International Airport through regular PAL Express flights, while buses and ferries link the municipality to major cities.
The municipal airport features an unusual configuration where vehicles cross directly over the runway, as the main road intersects the landing strip without an underpass.
