History

The name Tampilisan originated from a tree called "Tampilis". This tree is about one to three meters in height, belongs to the palm family. Its sturdy part when split was used by the natives, Subanen, as a substitute for betel nuts. Since this tree were abundant in the area, the place thus called by the native as "Tampilisan".[5]

The municipality was originally a barangay of the Municipality of Liloy, Zamboanga del Norte. In the early part of 1978, because of the concentration of population and potentials of the area and through consultation of the local leaders, Assemblyman Guardson Lood filed a bill in the Interim Batasang Pambansa for the creation of Tampilisan as an independent municipality.

The municipality of Tampilisan was established by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 14 issued on December 22, 1978, upon separation of seven barangays in southern part of Liloy, with a barangay with the same name the seat of government.[6] A plebiscite was held on March 22, 1979.[7]
