Formerly a part of Cauayan,
this place was inhabited by natives called Negritoes. When immigrants from
Panay came and settled in the coastal areas, the settlers began to group in
the area where the town is now located. Traders visited this place and
bartered with its settlers products like clothing made in Miag-ao, Tigbauan
and Guimbal in Iloilo.
Spanish authorities did not occupy Hinobaan during their time in the
province since the area was still a jungle. It was visited only by people
from Cauayan and the neighboring towns for hunting purposes, hence no
important events were recorded about the coming if the Spaniards in the
town.
When the Americans landed in Negros during World War II, Hinobaan became a
historical point of entry by the US military forces. Col. Salvador Abcede,
district commander of the 7th military district, established his island
headquarters in this town during the Japanese occupation.
After Liberation, Hinobaan was rehabilitated by some of its pioneering
residents. More settlements were established, schools were built, trails
developed for the people’s convenience in going to places and in
transporting their local produce to nearby towns and villages.
