Native Name: Buglas
HISTORY
March 10, 1971
● The province was founded with the city provincial capital, Dumaguete City.
Spanish explorers on the expedition of Miguel Lopezde Legazpi first came to the island
in April 1565. Legazpi dropped anchor in Bohol and sent hismen to scout the island. Because of
the strong currents of the Tañon Strait between Cebu and Negros, they were carried for several
days and forced to land on the western side of the island. They reported seeing many dark -
skinned inhabitants,and they called the island "Negros" ("Negro" means "black" in Spanish).
The island was sparsely settled at the time, except for a few coastal settlements including Ilog and
Binalbagan. In 1571, Legaspi assigned encomiendas on the island to 13 of his men. Augustinian
friars began the Christianization of the island the next year. The island was administered as part
of the jurisdiction of Oton until 1734 when it became a military district, and Ilog became the
capital of the island. The capital was transferred to Himamaylan in 1795. Negros became a
politico-military province in 1856 and the capital was transferred to Bacolod.
Due to its proximity to Mindanao, the south eastern coast of Negros was in constant
threat from Moro marauders looking for slaves, and watchtowers were built to protect the
Christian villages.The Moro raids and Negros Oriental's distance from the Negros capital in
Bacolod induced 13 Recollectionist priests to petition forthe division of the island in July 1876.
The island of Negros was then divided into the provinces of Negros Oriental and Negros
Occidental by a royal decree executed by Governor General Valeriano Weyler on January 1,
1890. Dumaguete City was made the first capital of Negros Oriental. In 1892, Siquijor became a
part of Negros Oriental, having previously been administered by Spain under the politico -
military province of Bohol.

Negros Oriental

  • 1. 19 NEGROS ORIENTAL Eastern Negros Sidlakang Negros Native Name: Buglas HISTORY March 10, 1971 ● The province was founded with the city provincial capital, Dumaguete City. Spanish explorers on the expedition of Miguel Lopezde Legazpi first came to the island in April 1565. Legazpi dropped anchor in Bohol and sent hismen to scout the island. Because of the strong currents of the Tañon Strait between Cebu and Negros, they were carried for several days and forced to land on the western side of the island. They reported seeing many dark - skinned inhabitants,and they called the island "Negros" ("Negro" means "black" in Spanish). The island was sparsely settled at the time, except for a few coastal settlements including Ilog and Binalbagan. In 1571, Legaspi assigned encomiendas on the island to 13 of his men. Augustinian friars began the Christianization of the island the next year. The island was administered as part of the jurisdiction of Oton until 1734 when it became a military district, and Ilog became the capital of the island. The capital was transferred to Himamaylan in 1795. Negros became a politico-military province in 1856 and the capital was transferred to Bacolod. Due to its proximity to Mindanao, the south eastern coast of Negros was in constant threat from Moro marauders looking for slaves, and watchtowers were built to protect the Christian villages.The Moro raids and Negros Oriental's distance from the Negros capital in Bacolod induced 13 Recollectionist priests to petition forthe division of the island in July 1876. The island of Negros was then divided into the provinces of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental by a royal decree executed by Governor General Valeriano Weyler on January 1, 1890. Dumaguete City was made the first capital of Negros Oriental. In 1892, Siquijor became a part of Negros Oriental, having previously been administered by Spain under the politico - military province of Bohol.
