Konibo

Konibo is a town and municipality located in the coastal region of Aramoor. It lies along the lower course of the Konibo River and covers an area of about 42 square kilometers. The town is part of the Aramoor metropolitan district, with a sheltered harbor used by local fishing fleets.

Founded in the 11th or 12th century, Konibo grew as a trading settlement due to river access and harbor facilities. It received a municipal charter in 1254 and developed as a regional market center. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century expanded connections to inland cities, boosting population and industry in the early 20th century.

Today the economy blends traditional industries with services and tourism. Fishing and aquaculture remain important, while light manufacturing, logistics, and a growing hospitality sector centered on the riverfront support employment.

As of the latest estimates, the population is between 8,500 and 9,500 residents. The community is predominantly native to Aramoor and speaks Konibo as the official language, with minority speakers of nearby dialects. Cultural life centers on the annual Konibo Festival and the riverfront market.

Notable landmarks include the Konibo Cathedral (circa the 16th century) and the Old Town Hall. The town is governed by a mayor and a town council, operating within the regional framework of Aramoor.
