MOUNTAIN PROVINCE
Mountain Province,
is a landlocked province of the Philippines in the
Cordillera Administrative Region in Luzon. Its
capital is Bontoc and borders, clockwise from the
south, Ifugao, Benguet, Ilocos Sur, Abra, Kalinga,
and Isabela
Mountain Province is the full name of the province
and is sometimes incorrectly named just Mountain
in some foreign references. The name is also
incorrectly shortened by locals to Mt. Province,
which in turn is read by native Anglophones as
"Mount Province". The province is named that way
because it is found in the Cordilleras mountain
range of north central Luzon.
Mountain Province was also the name of the
historical province that included most of the
current Cordillera provinces. This old province was
established by the Americans in 1908 and was later
split in 1966 into Mountain Province, Benguet,
Kalinga-Apayao and Ifugao.
