This village derives its name from the word “yugu”. “Yugu” means the
frame placed over the neck of a carabao and harnessed to a cart. Yigo
is the island’s northernmost village. The soil is rich for coffee,
cocoa, pineapples, oranges and tangerines, which grew in abundance
before the war. This village also produced chocolates, which were then
transported to Hagatna where they were served to visitors in the
Chocolate House of the Governor’s palace. Yigo also has many Ifil wood
trees, the hard wood used to make the yoke of the carabao and
oftentimes the construction of the carabao cart. |
