HISTORY As early as 1898, during the Spanish and American periods, some government offices have already been established in Maasin on the southwestern part of Leyte. Due to the distance and difficulty in managing the affairs of government in Tacloban, local leaders proposed a bill in congress to divide Leyte in to two provinces. On July 01, 1960, Southern Leyte was inaugurated as a province with 16 mun. Maasin is the capital town and seat of the provincial government.Access to Province:
