According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 24,653 people.{{PH census|current}} Formerly known as '''Bahra''', the municipality is named after [[Ternate]] island of [[Indonesia]] where migrants from then [[Dutch East Indies]] originated. ==Etymology== The town is named after the [[Indonesia]]n island of [[Ternate]], which was the homeland of settlers in the region in the late 1600s (as refugees from the [[Moluccas]]). The town was also known as ''Barra'' or ''Bahra'' (from ''Barra de Maragondón'') in [[Cavite Chavacano|Chavacano]]. Prior to the arrival of migrants, the area was known as ''Wawa'' by the native Tagalogs, from the [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] ''wawa'' ("river mouth" or "river delta").<ref name="Lesho">{{cite book |last1=Lesho |first1=Marivic |last2=Sippola |first2=Eeva |title=Vergleichende Kolonialtoponomastik Strukturen und Funktionen kolonialer Ortsbenennung |date=2018 |publisher=De Gruyter |chapter=Toponyms in Manila and Cavite, Philippines |isbn=9783110608618 |pages=317–332}}</ref> ==History== The ''Merdicas'' (also spelled ''Mardicas'' or ''Mardikas'') were [[Catholic]] natives of the islands of [[Ternate]] and [[Tidore]] of the [[Moluccas]], converted by [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] missionaries during the [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]] occupation of the islands. The islands were later captured by the [[Spanish Empire|Spanish]], who vied for their control with the [[Dutch Empire|Dutch]]. In 1663, the Spanish garrison in Ternate were forced to pull out to defend [[Manila]] against an impending invasion by [[Koxinga]] on the [[Kingdom of Tungning]] in modern [[Geography of Taiwan|Taiwan]], sacrificing the Moluccas to the Dutch.
