Zamboanga (province)

Zamboanga (province)

Zamboanga, during the time of the United State's purchase of the Philippines of 1898, was eventually consolidated into one major administrative area by the American government of the Philippines, consisting an enormous region that was the Mindanao island's western peninsula, Basilan island, and the entire Sulu archipelago, with the ancient namesake town/fort of Zamboanga as the seat of its government, and was called the Moro Province of the Philippines. The town of Zamboanga (now Zamboanga City) was its capital. On June 6, 1952, the now chartered City of Zamboanga was further divided into two area provinces, namely Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur, while the chartered City of Zamboanga was relegated its own independent area of city governance. In 2001, a brand new Zamboanga province, Zamboanga Sibugay, was created from the province of Zamboanga del Sur.
