Philippines
Canlaon, chartered city, central Negros island, Philippines. The former municipality, made a city in 1961, is named for Mount Canlaon (8,086 feet [2,465 metres]), the volcano beneath whose eastern slopes it lies. A national park was established there in 1934, with an area of 95 square miles (245 square km); the volcano’s deposits created the fertile soil of the surrounding sugarcane country. Canlaon is connected by road with the east-coastal and the west-coastal highways of Negros island. Inc. city, 1961. Pop. (2000) 46,548; (2010) 50,627.
