Cebu is a province, an island, and a city. Its location in the center of the archipelago makes it the country's shipping crossroad. Long before the Spaniards 'discovered' it, Cebu was an important trading center, properous and well-populated. Ships bringing merchandise from China, the East Indies, Arabia and Siam paid tribute to the ruler of Zubu, or Sugbu as the island was called. After sealing a blood compact with Rajah Tupas, Legazpi constructed a fortified settlement that would become Cebu City. Early on, it was called San Miguel, then Santissimo Nombre de Jesus. Spanish cultural influence was great here with many towns named after places in Spain--- Asturias, Santander, San Sebastian, Compostela and Toledo.
