Tuburan is a 2nd class municipality is located in the northern part of Cebu Province and is approximately 96.7 kilometers from Cebu City. Tuburan got its name from the prevalence of springs, which are the sources of potable water for household use of the early settlers. "Tuburan," evolved from the Cebuano- Visayan dialect "Tubod" meaning spring. Tuburan was founded in 1851 by Don Mariano Montebon who hailed from the Municipality of Sogod, Cebu. It was first located at Daan Lungsod that is just across from Adela River north of current Poblacion.
One of Tuburan's main attractions is its Molobolo Spring, a spring resort that is perfect for those who want to dip in fresh water. Also, nearby the spring is a beach with brackish water wherein one can have total enjoyment under the sun. In addition, the cool shade from giant trees makes Molobolo Spring more enticing to local and foreign visitors.
