Paombong, Bulacan Etymology

Every place where a nipa hut stood, this "Bombong" containing nipa juice is seen. People from adjacent places who came to this town to barter their products with the tuba of nipa or vinegar, called this place Paombong or the sitio of many Bombongs. This is the origin of the name of the town.

Soon afterwards, a town arose from the swampy place. The area became a place too beautiful to live in. The people are contented and carefree as well as happy.

The founder christened the place Paombong, which means so much to the inhabitants because from the "Bombong" came the wealth, happiness, and prosperity of the people.
