Detailed description is Macrohon, since 1895, was known to be named in memory of Spanish Governor-General Manuel Macrohon. It was weaned from the jurisdiction of Maasin in 1904. Another legend states that the name Macrohon came from the word "manhaon", meaning removing cooked food, from the practice of Moro raiders removing the food left behind by fleeing residents. Whichever, the town of Macrohon holds the distinction of having a son who led the resistance in Leyte and prepared the landing of the Liberation Forces which earned him high posts after the war and posthumous promotion by President Fidel V.
