===Spanish rule===
During [[History of the Philippines (1521–1898)|Spanish rule]] in 1846, the Spaniards established a command post or a ''{{lang|es|comandancia}}'' in the nearby town of [[La Trinidad, Benguet|La Trinidad]], and organized Benguet into 31 {{lang|es|[[ranchería]]s}}, one of which was Kafagway, a wide grassy area where the present [[Burnham Park (Baguio)|Burnham Park]] is situated. Kafagway was then a minor {{lang|es|rancheria}} consisting of only about 20 houses; most of the lands in Kafagway were owned by a prominent Ibaloi, [[Mateo Cariño]], who served as its chieftain.<ref name="NordisNet-BaguioHistory2">{{Cite news |last=Boquiren |first=Rowena Reyes |date=August 23, 2015 |title=Baguio's history and cultural heritage |work=Northern Dispatch Weekly |url=http://www.nordis.net/2015/08/baguios-history-and-cultural-heritage/ |access-date=October 13, 2018}}</ref> The Spanish {{lang|es|presidencia}}, which was located at Bag-iw at the vicinity of Guisad Valley was later moved to Cariño's house where the current city hall stands. ''Bag-iw'' was the Ibaloi toponym of the town, an Ibaloi term for "moss" which was historically abundant in the area. This name was spelled by the Spaniards as ''Baguio''.<ref name="BaguioMidlandCourier3" /><ref name="DILG-CAR2">{{Cite web |title=Baguio City; History and Government |url=http://www.dilgcar.com/index.php/baguio-city |access-date=February 21, 2016 |website=[[Department of the Interior and Local Government]] – Cordillera Administrative Region}}</ref>
