Boston, Davao Oriental

According to the old folks, Boston got its name from an American Missionary who came to the town and asked an old man holding a cane for the place's name. The old man, thinking of the cane he was holding, replied “BASTON“, the corresponding vernacular. Since then, the place has been called “Boston”.
