Abulog, Cagayan Etymology

The municipality of Abulug lies between the municipalities of Ballesteros and Pamplona on the Northwestern part of Cagayan along the China Sea. Tulug, the original name of Abulug, had been a flourishing fishing village long before Don Juan Salcedo sailed to the mouth of Abulug River in 1572. In 1629, the name "tulug" was changed to Abulug, including two barangays of Totol and Capitana.

It is a typical Ybanag town. The immigrating Ilocanos contributed to a large extent to the progress of the town.
