Sagay, Component city in Negros Occidental, Philippines
Sagay is a component city at the northern edge of Negros Occidental that spans across land bordered by Asuncion Pass and the Visayan Sea. The city is divided into 25 barangays including Andres Bonifacio, Bato, and Old Sagay.
The city was originally called Argüelles when founded in 1860 and took its present name from sigay shells found locally in the area. The official name change to Sagay occurred in 1906.
The Sinigayan Festival each March draws people together to celebrate through music, dance, and community events that reflect local identity. Residents and visitors experience how the town keeps its traditions alive through these public gatherings.
The city administration center can provide information to help navigate the different areas since the barangays are spread across a large territory. Visitors benefit from having a general sense of the layout before exploring the various districts.
The Insular Lumber Company operated one of the world's largest hardwood mills here during the early twentieth century. This industrial past significantly shaped the city's economic development and infrastructure.
