Etymology
The former name of the place was "Baybay" as called by the natives accordingly because of its sandy soil. However, some of the Tagalog residents found the place to be too far as in the extreme end, thus, they renamed the place as "Dulo" which means "end" and later becomes "Dolo" as time passes.
