Taytay is to be found in the northern part of Palawan. It has gained its title as "The Star of the North", since it is the first capital city of the province of Palawan. This town is rich in historical, cultural and environmental value. It was founded in the year 1623 during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. The word Taytay means bridge in the local dialect. Its name was derived from the word "Talaytayan", a native word for a few pieces of bamboo or wood arranged together to form a bridge.
