Aparri is a first class municipality in the province of Cagayan, Luzon, Philippines. It sits at the mouth of the Cagayan River, the longest river in the Philippines, about 55 miles north of Tuguegarao, the provincial capital. According to the 2010 census, Aparri has a population of 61,199 people.〔 Aparri has an approximate income of ₱90 million. The valley is one of the largest tobacco-producing sections in the Philippines, and the town has a considerable coastwise trade. It has a meteorological station located in Barangay Punta where the Cagayan River meets the Babuyan Channel. It also administers Fuga Island, which is part of the Babuyan Group. ==History== Aparri, established in 1405, was formerly a Japanese trading post because of its location at the northern tip of Luzon at the mouth of the Cagayan River. Since it was on the route of Spanish Galleons during the great tobacco monopoly in the 16th to the 17th centuries, Aparri was therefore made one of the major Spanish ports of the Galleon Trade on May 11, 1680. The original inhabitants of this town were the Ybanags. Later, as the Spaniards settled and because of its strategic location, Ilocanos and Chinese people settled in the area. In the years before the outbreak of World War II, it became a transshipment point for smuggled goods from China, Taiwan, and other neighboring Southeast Asian nations. Donald Blackburn's guerrilla forces supported the Sixth United States Army Force B, in the capture of Aparri on 20 June 1945.〔Harkins, P., 1956, Blackburn's Headhunters, London: Cassell & Co. LTD〕 In 2006, work was started to rebuild the port, after the old pier deteriorated due to the rising level of water, the common storms, and poor construction (ruins of it are now seen washed up on the beach). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aparri, Cagayan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
