Shortly after de Salcedo conquered Northern Luzon in 1587, Gov. Rodrigo de Peñalosa
sent Capt. Pablo de Carreon to explore Cagayan Valley as well as to establish missions in
towns. Among the Spanish Missionaries who penetrated deeply into the region was P.
Pedro Jimenez who founded Ilagan. In May 4, 1686 and converted the natives to
Christianity. Ilagan was made the Capital of Cagayan Valley when Brig. Manuel Sanchez
Mira was Governor of the whole Territory upon the Separation of Isabela in May 01,
1856, Ilagan became the capital of the province.
Ilagan was the scene of the 1763 revolt in Isabela led by Dabo and Marayag against the
Collection of tribute, the enforcement of tobacco monopoly and other unbearable abuses
committed by the friars during the Spanish regime.
Ilocanos who already developed their own distinct traits were recorded to have migrated
massively in the 19th century owing to the accessibility of the land and vast opportunities
in the area straddling Cagayan and Nueva Vizcaya. It was proclaimed a province by a
Royal Decree and Named Isabela de Luzon on the first day of May in 1856
Isabela de Luzon was composed of old settlements that long before the arrival of
Spaniards have already evolved into mature towns. The Spanish authorities carved out
Isabela de Luzon from Cagayan and Nueva Vizcaya. These are Angadanan (now called
Alicia), BIndang (now called Roxas), Cabagan (detached from Cagayan), Calamusian
(now called Reina Mercedes), Camarag (now Echague), Carig (now Santiago), Gamu,
Ilagan, Palanan and Tumauini.
The modern Ilagan is an area that was detached from the old Nueva Vizcaya. The first
Municipal President of Ilagan Rafael Maramag added luster to the history of his
hometown Ilagan by becoming the first Governor of Isabela after its reorganization by
the Americans in 1901.
Over the years, the fortunes of Isabela as a people and Ilagan as a town followed a similar
path to the rest of the country’s history under the Philippines as a Commonwealth nation
and as a free Republic in 1942, the Japanese Occupation, Liberation and political and
military independence to this day
Today, Ilagan covering 116,626 hectares lives its economic boom time playing a vital
contributory role for Isabela acknowledged as corn and rice granary of Luzon. To the
predominantly agricultural economy of Isabela, this town adds the vigor of its trade,
commercial and cultural life
