Murcia, Municipal administrative division in Negros Occidental, Philippines

The municipality of Murcia extends across 279 square kilometers of land with elevations ranging from sea level to 2,432 meters in Negros Occidental.

An Augustinian Recollect priest, Father Miguel Alvarez, established Murcia in 1860, and its municipal hall later served as a Japanese garrison during World War II.

The municipality maintains 23 barangays, the traditional Philippine community units, forming a network of local governance and social organization across the region.

Located 17 kilometers east of Bacolod City, Murcia can be reached through regular bus and jeepney services that connect these urban centers.

The municipality generates annual revenue of 295.2 million Philippine pesos while supporting a population of 88,868 residents according to the 2020 census.
