Ilog was founded by the Augustinian Fathers Geronimo Marin and Francisco
Bustos on May 16, 1584. It was the biggest settlement in Negros at the time
of the Spanish conquest. It was the island’s commercial and political
center. The name Ilog was recommended by a Tagalog guide of the Spaniards
because the place was entirely surrounded by the longest river in the whole
island of Negros – the Ilog River.
From the very beginning Ilog seemed to have been the most important town
in Negros, perhaps because of the Ilog River. The first location of Ilog was
probably nearer to the mouth of the river.
