Famy, officially the Municipality of Famy (), is a municipality in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the , it has a population of people, making it the least populated municipality in the province.

Etymology

The area now known as Famy was originally a barrio called Calumpang, which was part of the municipality of Siniloan. When the barrio Calumpang was separated and established as an independent municipality, it was renamed Famy in honor of Trinidad Aguinaldo y Famy, the mother of General Emilio Aguinaldo.

History

The history of the town as a barrio of Siniloan dates back to 1612 when its natural resources were first exploited by home seekers from Daraitan in Tanay. These home seekers named the place Calumpang, after a big shady Calumpang tree that grows in the heart of the place.

Year after year, the inhabitants of the place increased. People from nearby towns were attracted to the barrio because of the vast area of uncultivated lands. They succeeded in making the lands suitable for food crops. They especially made use of the lowlands where more of the inhabitants settled. Home industries gained interest among women. Spiny bamboos were planted as raw materials for the basket industry that remain an important industry in the present.

In 1835, when the people realized the changes of the place, from the bedlam of wilderness to a barrio worthy of becoming a town, they for the first time, sought to become a municipality with its own government. The plan was rejected because of the meager population of the barrio. Again the prominent men of the barrio tried to secure the separation. Stimulated by the feeling of patriotism, men from the barrio voluntarily presented themselves as revolutionist claiming that they will fight on the side of General Emilio Aguinaldo if he will help make the barrio a town. After the revolution, Aguinaldo ordered that Calumpang be separated from Siniloan. Barrio Calumpang was then renamed Famy. This was in memory of Aguinaldo's mother, Trinidad Aguinaldo y Famy.

When the Americans took possession of the Philippines, the form of government automatically changed. With an Executive Order, small towns became barrios of nearby towns. Famy was affected by this order, and again became a barrio of Siniloan in 1903. In spite of these changes the people continued the development of the barrio. They tried their best to increase the area of cultivated lands. The inhabitants of this municipality were not satisfied of being a barrio again of Siniloan, so they filed a request to the Governor General that Famy be a town again, citing that no salary for services rendered will be asked and that the municipal hall and school buildings shall be constructed, all on the help of the town's people. By virtue of this request, the Governor General issued Executive Order No. 60 series of 1910, separating Famy from Siniloan. This order took effect on August 15, 1910.
