THE CHURCH AND THE STATE

The history of Nueva Valencia, just like that of other towns in the island of
Guimaras, dates back to the time when Himal-us (Guimaras) was Christianized by the
Spaniards in 1591.

The towns were known as pueblicitos (villages) of Nayup (Buenavista with San Pedro
Apostol as patron saint; Nabilhan (Jordan) with San Juan Bautista as its patron
saint; and Agang (Valencia) whose patroness was Santa Ana. Although during the
Spanish regime there were separate powers between the church and the state, yet the
church had much influence in the creation of pueblos (towns) and establishment of
parishes.

It was also mentioned in the "History of Panay" by Regalado and Franco, that in
Panay, the towns included under the jurisdiction of Ogtong (Oton) were the three
towns in the Island of Himal-us, namely Nayup, Nabilhan and Agang.

In 1742, the island fell under the jurisdiction of Dumangas until 1751 when the
Jesuits took over from the Augustinian Order. In 1768, the Dominicans had spiritual
jurisdiction over Guimaras until 1775 when it was organized into a regular parish
with Iloilo.

HOW NUEVA VALENCIA GOT ITS NAME

With the coming of the Spaniards, trade and commerce also flourished as Spain opened markets to foreign countries. There was a "galleon trade" between Manila and
Acapulco. Iloilo at that time was known as the "Fort of the Southern Archipelago."

Just like at present, the sea route from Manila to Panay passed the western portion
of Guimaras, through the Iloilo Strait and docked at Fort San Pedro. The Spaniards
saw the need of a lighthouse to guide the incoming and outgoing vessels especially
during dark nights and when typhoon occurred. The suitable place for a lighthouse
was in Himal-us (Guimaras).

The group, with some engineers, landed in Puyu which at that time, the landing point
of vessels. They went on foot until they reached a place which is now Sitio Guisi.
Such place was ideal for a lighthouse since it could be seen far away from the sea.
The Spaniards named the place as Punta Santa Ana in honor of the patroness of
typhoon. A lighthouse was const ructed which operates until today.

The Spaniards had come to like the place of Santa Ana which extended from the
lighthouse to Sitio Puyu. Eventually, population increased and the Spanish authority
created Santa Ana as a town and named it Valencia after a town in Spain which
patroness was Santa Ana. The first appointed "alcalde mayor" was Don Manuel Segovia.
The municipal building called "Casa Real" was constructed and was located adjacent
to the site of now Nueva Valencia National High School. Later, the seat of the
municipal government was transferred to Barrio Igang when the Casa Real was razed by
fire due to an unknown cause. Igang then became the Poblacion and the whole town was named Nueva Valencia or "New Valencia". Valencia became a barrio named Santa Ana.
