Claver, officially the Municipality of Claver (Surigaonon: Lungsod nan Claver; Tagalog: Bayan ng Claver), is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Surigao del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 36,033 people.[3]
The town can be reached by bus, van-for-hire and jeepney from the Surigao Integrated Bus & Jeepney Terminal or at any point along the national highway. Its patron saint is St. Peter Claver and fiesta is celebrated every ninth day of September.
A large part of the municipal land area is a mining reservation due to extensive mineral deposits.[5] This includes the Nickel ore loading port at Taganito, located 10 kilometers from the town proper of Claver, on the banks of Taganito river.[6]
