LOCAL HISTORY OF CANDON:

A Revisit to its Glorious Past

Etymology

The word “CANDON” comes from “Kandong,” the name given by the natives to a big tree in the village around which life, culture and beauty centered.

This village, so the legend says, was ruled by three local chieftains: ABAY-A, MADALANG and KALINIO.  Madalang chose as his abode the shade of this gargantuan tree and lived there with his only daughter, the beautiful Ineng. Abay-a and Kalinio for their part lived with their tribes in caves somewhere in Kadanglaan and Kauplasan, respectively.
