On the western coast of Bohol lies the municipality of Loon. It is said to have been named after a beautiful seaside spring located in the northern part of the Poblacion.

However, there is no record to prove this as a fact. It is not definitely known when the town was established but in 1879, it was already a flourishing community with a population of 7,202.
