According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 8,531 people.{{PH wikidata|population_reference}}<br /> <br /> It was formerly called Nag-as, after the name of the river flowing southeast of the town center.&lt;ref name=history&gt;{{cite web|title=History of Hernani |url=http://hernani-esamar.gov.ph/index.php/history.html |publisher=Municipality of Hernani, Eastern Samar |access-date=24 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130723000240/http://hernani-esamar.gov.ph/index.php/history.html |archive-date=23 July 2013 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> Hernani was founded around the year 1850 by a settler from Guiuan named Miguel Candido. Hernani, was created into a municipality by virtue of a Royal Order on January 4, 1864.<br /> <br /> On October 12, 1897, giant tidal waves struck Hernani. More than 300 people were killed, and public buildings and houses were destroyed, including the newly–built stone church. Following the disaster, the survivors relocated the town center to a more secure place about one–half kilometer inland. This site is now the present location.<br /> <br /> Immediately following the Philippine-American War, the political status of Hernani was reduced into a barrio under the jurisdiction of Lanang (now Llorente). In 1912, its status as a municipality was restored but the seat of local government was transferred to Pambujan (now General MacArthur). However, in 1926, the municipality of Hernani regained back the township by virtue of an Executive Order issued by then American Government–General Leonard Wood.<br /> <br /> ==Barangays==<br /> Hernani is politically subdivided into 13 [[barangay]]s.{{PSGC detail|area}} Each barangay consists of [[purok]]s and some have [[sitios]].<br /> <br /> Four barangays, located in the [[poblacion]], are known primarily by number.<br /> * Barangay 1<br /> * Barangay 2<br /> * Barangay 3<br /> * Barangay 4<br /> * Batang<br /> * Nagaja<br /> * Padang<br /> * Carmen<br /> * Garawon<br /> * San Isidro<br /> * Canciledes<br /> * San Miguel<br /> * Cacatmonan<br /> <br /> ==Demographics==<br /> {{Philippine Census<br /> | align= none<br /> | title= Population census of {{PH wikidata|name}}<br /> | 1903 = {{PH census population|1903}}<br /> | 1918 = {{PH census population|1918}}<br /> | 1939 = {{PH census population|1939}}<br /> | 1948 = {{PH census population|1948}}<br /> | 1960 = {{PH census population|1960}}<br /> | 1970 = {{PH census population|1970}}<br /> | 1975 = {{PH census population|1975}}<br /> | 1980 = {{PH census population|1980}}<br /> | 1990 = {{PH census population|1990}}<br /> | 1995 = {{PH census population|1995}}<br /> | 2000 = {{PH census population|2000}}<br /> | 2007 = {{PH census population|2007}}<br /> | 2010 = {{PH census population|2010}}<br /> | 2015 = {{PH census population|2015}}<br /> | 2020 = {{PH census population|2020}}<br /> | 2024 = {{PH census population|2024}}<br /> | 2030 = <br /> | footnote= Source: [[Philippine Statistics Authority]]{{PH wikidata|population_reference}}{{PH census|2015}}{{PH census|2010}}{{PH census|2007}}{{LWUA population data}} <br /> }}<br /> <br /> The population of Hernani in the 2020 census was 8,531 people,{{PH wikidata|population_reference}} with a density of {{convert|{{sigfig|8,531/49.42|2}}|PD/km2|disp=or}}.<br /> <br /> ==Climate==<br /> {{Weather box<br /> | location = Hernani, Eastern Samar<br /> | width = auto<br /> | metric first = Yes<br /> | single line = Yes<br /> | Jan high C = 28<br /> | Jan low C = 22<br /> | Feb high C = 28<br /> | Feb low C = 22<br /> | Mar high C = 29<br /> | Mar low C = 22<br /> | Apr high C = 30<br /> | Apr low C = 23<br /> | May high C = 30<br /> | May low C = 24<br /> | Jun high C = 30<br /> | Jun low C = 24<br /> | Jul high C = 29<br /> | Jul low C = 24<br /> | Aug high C = 30<br /> | Aug low C = 24<br /> | Sep high C = 30<br /> | Sep low C = 24<br /> | Oct high C = 29<br /> | Oct low C = 24<br /> | Nov high C = 29<br /> | Nov low C = 23<br /> | Dec high C = 28<br /> | Dec low C = 23<br /> | Jan precipitation mm = 90<br /> | Feb precipitation mm = 67<br /> | Mar precipitation mm = 82<br /> | Apr precipitation mm = 70<br /> | May precipitation mm = 97<br /> | Jun precipitation mm = 145<br /> | Jul precipitation mm = 152<br /> | Aug precipitation mm = 127<br /> | Sep precipitation mm = 132<br /> | Oct precipitation mm = 152<br /> | Nov precipitation mm = 169<br /> | Dec precipitation mm = 144<br /> | Jan rain days = 17.0<br /> | Feb rain days = 13.5<br /> | Mar rain days = 16.0<br /> | Apr rain days = 16.5<br /> | May rain days = 20.6<br /> | Jun rain days = 24.3<br /> | Jul rain days = 26.0<br /> | Aug rain days = 25.4<br /> | Sep rain days = 25.2<br /> | Oct rain days = 26.4<br /> | Nov rain days = 23.0<br /> | Dec rain days = 21.1<br /> | source 1 = Meteoblue&lt;ref name=&quot;met_norms&quot;&gt;<br /> {{cite web <br /> | url = https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/forecast/modelclimate/hernani_philippines_1711821<br /> | title = Hernani, Eastern Samar : Average Temperatures and Rainfall<br /> | publisher = Meteoblue<br /> | access-date = 31 December 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | date = 31 December 2018<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Economy ==<br /> {{PH poverty incidence}}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://web.archive.org/web/20121101032117/http://www.hernani-esamar.gov.ph/index.php/home.html Hernani E.
