Location

Located on the western part of the municipality, barangay Hambabauran is bounded by barangay Camali-an and Pag-asa to the north. It is bounded by the municipality of San Miguel to the west, to the south, by barangay Gabi, and to the east by barangay Lomangog. It has approximate distance of 12 km from the town center, Poblacion.

History

In the beginning, the name of the place is Sitio Barrio Site, which then a part of barangay Bay-ang. In 1965 it was proposed to become a separate barrio during the time of Eugenio Caduldulan as Teniente del Barrio. Three years later, a barangay election held. At that time, Barrio Site was supposed to be changed into Hambabauran and it was submitted to the Province for approval.

On August 2, 1968, Barangay Hambabauran was finally approved as one of the Barangays in the municipality of Ubay. Thus, Barrio Site was totally changed its name to Barangay Hambabauran, which named after Hambabaud trees.

Many years had passed when the hambabaud trees vanished, but this tree is always inculculated in the people's mind in Hambabauran, for it is the legend of their place, now a barangay.
