Etymology

Napindan is a "Barra" or an island or bar of land on the mouth or opening or a water way like a river or a lake.[3][4] According to the old Spanish maps, it has 3 features: the Napindan Proper (where the visita de San Pedro is located), the Ibayo Napindan, and the islands where the Napindan Lighthouse is located.[5] Napindan was also mentioned by José Rizal in his letter to his grandmother on March 26, 1876.[6]
