This livable city in the west coast of Cebu is the home of the country’s largest copper mine company- Atlantas Consolidated Mining and Development Corporation. It officially became a city on January 6, 1961 due to a large contribution of Atlantas Consolidated Mining and Development Corporation. Toledo City is politically subdivided into 38 barangays. |
