The Origin of the name “Alegria”
The name Alegria was derived from the Spanish word “alegre” meaning cheerful. A happy occasion sparked the name “Alegria”. The town was long known as Tubod after a sparkling spring (tubod in Cebuano) whose cool waters was the favorite of the townspeople and travelers alike. It was here where a group of Spaniards chanced upon its residents enjoying a festivity amidst hilarious merriment. Amused, the Castillians exclaimed : Que alegre! Que alegre! (How gleeful!) From this rustic revelry, the town earned its name.
