Davao del Norte (Cebuano: Amihanang Dabaw; Tagalog: Hilagang Davao) is a province in the Philippines located in the Davao Region in Mindanao. Its capital and largest city is Tagum. The province also includes Samal Island to the south in the Davao Gulf. Before 1967, the five provinces—Davao de Oro, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Occidental, Davao Oriental— and Guipozcoa were administered as a single province named Davao, a Provincial District of Department of Mindanao and Sulu. The present-day Davao Region is coterminous with this former province.
