Manapla became a town when the Island of Negros remained a military
district up to the middle of the 19th Century. In 1856, Negros Occidental
was raised to the category of politico-military “govierno”. It was in the
later part of 1860, during Gov. Saravia’s term, that Manapla was proclaimed
as a new municipality by the Vicar, who was at the same time the Acting
Governor of Bacolod. Bernardo Gallo was appointed its first Capitan
Municipal.
Manapla soon led other town as an integral part of the island in the
production of sugar when North Negros Sugar Company, Inc. was established in
1917. Sugarcane milling started and the cultivation of sugarcane fields
ushered in faster development. Large haciendas sprouted and sugar milling
operation by steam machines was employed.
