==Etymology==
''Bacólod'' ((英語:Bacolod)), is derived from ''bakólod'' (Old Spelling: ''bacólod''), the Old Hiligaynon or Old Ilonggo (Old Spelling: ''Ylongo and Ilongo'') word for a "hill, mound, rise, hillock, down, any small eminence or elevation",〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.gutenberg.ph/previews/kaufmann/KVED-Body.pdf )〕 since the resettlement was founded on a stony, hilly area, now the barangay of Granada. It was officially called ''Ciudad de Bacólod'' (City of Bacolod) when ''Municipalidad de Bacólod'' (Municipality of Bacolod) was converted into a city in 1938.
