BriefHistory
egrosIslandwasoriginallycalledBuglas,anoldnativeword
thatisthoughttomeancutoff.
ItisbelievedthatNegroswasoncepartofagreatermassofland
butwascutoffeitherbywhatgeologistscallacontinentaldriftor
by the rising waters during the socalled glacial age. Among its
earliest inhabitants were darkskinned natives belonging to the
Negrito ethnic group with their unique culture. Thus, the
SpaniardscalledthelandNegrosaftertheblacknativeswhom
theysawwhentheyfirstcametotheislandinApril1565.Twoof
the earliest native settlements were Binalbagan and Ilog that
later became towns in 1573 and 1584, respectively. Other
settlements were Hinigaran, Bago, Marayo (now Pontevedra),
Mamalan (now Himamaylan) and Candaguit (now a sitio in San
Enrique).
After appointing encomenderos in the island, Miguel Lopez de
Legazpi placed Negros under the jurisdiction of the Governor of
OtoninPanay.In1734,however,theislandbecameamilitarydistrictandIlogwasmadeitsfirstcapital.
TheseatofgovernmentwaslatertransferredtoHimamaylanandthereafterBacolodbecamethecapital
in1849.
Theislandremainedamilitarydistrictuptoaboutthemiddleofthe19thcentury.Thenin1865,Negros
Occidental was raised to the category of a politicomilitary province. During this time, several more
townswereestablishedlikeSanCarlosandCalatrava.
Religious orders evangelized the province by turns: the Augustinians, Recollects, Jesuits, Dominicans,
Seculars and again, the Recollects returning in the
1800s.
Thelatterhalfofthe19thcenturywasaperiodofrapid
economicexpansionforNegrosOccidentalasevidenced
bythegrowthofpopulationresultingfromtheinfluxof
immigrants coming from neighboring provinces like
Iloilo,Antique,CapizandCebu.Theysettledindistricts
sparsely inhabited in the past and this resulted in the
establishments of new towns: Saravia (now E.B.
TheSanSebastianCathedral
Magalona),ValladolidandEscalantein1860.

The major boom to the province at this time was the widespread cultivation of sugarcane and the
openingofportslikethoseinIloiloandCebutoforeigncommerce.In1856,NegrosOccidentalproduced
only 4,000 piculs of sugar. This
increased to 100,000 piculs in
1864 and 2,000,000 in 1893. The
cultivation of sugarcane then
became widespread and soon
after Negros Occidental led other
provinces in the production of
sugar. Modern machines were
also introduced at this time and
by 1864, seven machines
operated by steam were used in
the towns of Bacolod, Minuluan
(nowTalisay)andBago.
Duringthelastdecadeofthe19th
century, several important events

occurredinthehistoryofNegros
Occidental. One was the making
of Negros Occidental as a separate province from Negros Oriental in 1890. The other was when

of Negros which reunited the two provinces until the Americans arrived in May 1899. A civil
governmentwasestablishedinNegrosOccidentalonApril20,1901.
During the succeeding decades between 1901 and the 1930s, Negros Occidental was under the
American occupation as with the rest of the country. Nonetheless, the economic growth continued
especially with Philippine sugar having a part of the US market despite some accompanying socio
