10. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
• The Province of Nueva Vizcaya used to be a
territory of the vast Cagayan Valley Region,
which was once an integral political unit with one
governor. In 1839 then Governor Luis Lardizabal
issued an order creating Nueva Vizcaya into
politico-military province upon the advice of the
alcalde mayor of Cagayan. The order was
approved by a royal Decree on April 10, 1841.
• The present territory of Nueva Vizcaya was the
result of changes emanating from the formal
creation of the province of Isabela in May of
1856, wherein a great portion of its northern
area was ceded to the newly- born province

11. The organization in 1908 of the province of Ifugao
further reduced the area of Nueva Vizcaya, which was
forced to give up its northwest territory. The survey
executed by the Bureau of Lands in 1914 further
caused the diminution of its area and reduced again
upon the enactment of the Administrative Code in
1917.
• Even with these slices of land given away to the new
emerging provinces, the province of Nueva Vizcaya
still held a territory. But then again in 1971, with the
passage of Republic Act No.6394, Quirino, which was
then sub-province of Nueva Vizcaya, was separated
from its mother province and made into a regular
province.

12. • Since its birth as a province, its history could still
be reflected from the culture and customs of the
early settlers, i.e., Ilongots, Igorots, Ifugaos,
Isinais and the Gaddangs. The influx of
civilization and the infusion of modern
technology to the life stream of the province
induced many settlers from adjacent provinces
primarily the Ilocanos, Tagalogs, Pangasinenses
and the Kapampangans to migrate here.
• Today, Nueva Vizcaya stands strong and is
proudly transforming into a fast developing
province with its fifteen municipalities, viz:
Alfonso Castañeda, Ambaguio, Aritao, Bagabag,
Bambang, Bayombong, Diadi, Dupax del Sur,
Dupax del Norte, Kayapa, Kasibu, Quezon,
Solano, Sta. Fe and Villaverde.
