HISTORY OF TAMPILISAN, ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE

The municipality of Tampilisan was once a barangay of the Municipality of Liloy, Zamboanga del Norte province, Philippines.

The name Tampilisan originated from a tree called "Tampilis". This tree is about one (1) to three (3) meters in height, belongs to the palm family. Its sturdy part when split was used by the natives, Subanen, as a substitute for betel nuts. Since this tree were abundant in the area, the place thus called by the native as "TAMPILISAN".

In the early part of 1978, because of the concentration of population and potentials of the area and through consultation of the local leaders, Assemblyman Guardson Lood filed a bill in the Interim Batasang Pambansa, Batas Pambansa Bilang 14 an "Act Creating the Municipality of Tampilisan".
