    History[edit]
    Name and Establishment[edit]
    Cuyapo comes from the Pangasinan word kuyapo, kiapo or quiapo in Tagalog; lul-luan, in
    Ilocano; (Pistia stratiotes), a water plant that looks like a flower. According to the Kulantong, or
    Cronologia written by Cirilo R. Sumangil, a native of Cuyapo, who, for over forty years, was the
    Parish Priest of the Philippine Independent Church of Cuyapo. Said aquatic plant was so abundant
    particularly in a place which is now owned by the Monteros, situated along Rizal Street near the
    Municipal Cemetery. It was at this place that lured cow tenders from Paniqui, Tarlac to pasture their
    herds or flocks.

    Early Beginnings[edit]
    Pangasinenses from Paniqui, Tarlac who used to pasture their cattle, foresters from Sta.
    Maria, Narvacan, Ilocos Sur; Paoay andBatac in Ilocos Norte; and Pangasinenses
    from Calasiao and San Carlos, Pangasinan, settled in great number in the town. It is said that the
    exodus, particularly from Ilocos Sur, was due to the forced labor enforced by the Spaniards in the
    construction of the Catholic Church in Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur. Cuyapo was declared a Barrio of

    Rosales on September 25, 1849, with Senior Santiago Vergara as its first Teniente del Barrio.
    Rosales was then a part of Nueva Ecija. It was in 1901 during the American Civil Commission
    that Rosales, together with Balungao, Umingan, San Quintin, were segregated from Nueva Ecija and
    became parts of Pangasinan.

    Creation of the Town[edit]


    On October 29, 1859, Cuyapo was separated from Rosales, Pangasinan and made a full-fledged
    town with Don Juan Pangalilingan as the first Gobernadorcillo. It was during his term that the first
    Catholic Church and convent was constructed. The old road to Guimba, passing through what is
    now Barangay Maycaban was constructed. On October 29, 1959, Cuyapo celebrated the centennial
    of its creation as a town.

    The Revolutionary Period[edit]


    On July 1, 1898, Gen. Mariano Llanera, then Military Governor of Nueva Ecija, appointed Don
    Marcelo Garcia, last Capitan Municipal during the Spanish Regime, as Presidente Municipal with
    Don Mariano Flores, last Teniente Mayor, as Vise Presidente Municipal. Later, under the
    supervisonal government, election of municipal officials was held. This revolutionary period of
    government existed until the American forces came in November 1898. It was during this period
    when the people showed their patriotism and loyalty to the cause of the revolution. On June 19,
    1898, two to three hundred Cuyapenos, under Teniente Isabelo del Valle of Paniqui, Tarlac,
    answered the call of duty and ambushed a heavily armed contingent of Spanish Cazadores who
    came from Rosales en route to Tarlac in Bessang (now part of Barangay Maycaban. The
    Cuyapenos then had only fifteen (15) Remington rifles and the rest armed with bolos.
