Limay, officially the Municipality of Limay (Tagalog: Bayan ng Limay), is a first-class municipality in the province of Bataan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 78,272 people.[3]

Limay is accessible via the Bataan Provincial Expressway (N301), off Exit 45. It is 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from Balanga and 136 kilometres (85 mi) from Manila.

History

The Dominican and Franciscan friars settled in Limay by the late 1600s, using its rich limestone deposits to build churches in Orion and Balanga. The town was a Barangay of Orion.

In the Philippine revolution of 1898, Limay inhabitants fought for their independence. American Governor-General Francis Burton Harrison's Executive Order of January 1, 1917, created Limay as the last Bataan municipality.

In 1913, the Cadwallader-Gibson Lumber Company employed Limayans and Visayan immigrants.

King capitulated to the Japanese forces, after the last stand of the American and Filipino forces faltered along the banks of the Alangan River.[4]

In 2024, the site of 2024 Manila Bay oil spill is 3.6 nautical miles (6.7 km) off the east coast of Lamao Point, Barangay Lamao.[5] Governor Joet Garcia declared a no-fishing zone on Limay based on the ban imposed by its Mayor Nelson C. David.[6]
