| General Note |
- General note - Leyte''s capitol site moved several times before it finally became Tacloban. Carigara was the religious and simultaneously, the political seat of authority during the Jesuit reductions. With the expulsion of the society in 1767-1768, the capitol was transferred to Palo, then to Tanauan, later to Dagami. When Kabatok (later, Tacloban) became a town in 1770, the provincial authorities saw how more accessible it was by land and more so, by water since it stood at the mouth of the San Juanico Strait. The opening of the Tacloban Port finally clinched the decision of the provincial authorities.
