It may have been named after the Douro (Duero) in the Iberian peninsula. Roman Catholicism was introduced to the town in 1860 by a Spanish priest. Duero was established as a municipality two years later, in 1862, and a convent was constructed in 1868.
Duero is 77 kilometres (48 mi) from Tagbilaran.
Duero celebrates its fiesta on December 8, to honor the town patron Immaculate Conception.
