Favorite Picture of the Barangay
Limpapa is the last Barangay in the North West part of Zamboanga City. By the year 2004, the city government promises to have a wide cemented highway built, connecting Limpapa to Licomo.
Limpa also has a high school: Limpapa National High School.
History: Much of the origin of Limpapa was settled by Subanos. The Subanos were chased away from the shoreline towns by the early Christian settlers and also by Datu Bantilan of Sulu. At that time, Limpapa was a safe haven for the Subanos.
There is a cave in Limpapa where some old inscription on the walls are still present. The Subanos did a lot of "kaignin" (cut and burn) style of farming. So they wandered around pretty much. Foot trails were carved out by the ancient Subanos, covering much of the entire length of the Zamboanga peninsula and became very useful to the guerrillas during the war.
