Clarin, officially the Municipality of Clarin (; ), is a municipality in the province of Misamis Occidental, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 39,867 people.
History
The present territory of Clarin was once part of the former municipality of Loculan. Through Act No. 951, issued by the Philippine Commission on October 21, 1903, which reduced the number of municipalities in the then-undivided Misamis province from 24 to 10, Loculan was effectively abolished after being joined with the municipality of Misamis.Act No. 951:
During the American occupation, the inhabitants in Loculan petitioned to be separated from Misamis and organized into two independent municipalities. Thus, Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison (through the efforts of Senator Jose A. Clarin) issued Executive Order (EO) No. 61 on December 28, 1920, creating the municipality of Clarin, along with Tudela; Barrio Loculan became the seat of government. The organization became effective on the first day of 1921.
In April 1924, by virtue of EO No. 20, Barrio Balicaocao in Tudela was transferred to Clarin.
In 1982, through Batas Pambansa Blg. 171, Barangay Bagong Clarin was separated, becoming part of newly created Don Mariano Marcos.
