Formerly known as Magallon, its historical account started when a group
of settlers from the island of Panay, passing upstream of Binalbagan River
settled at the place they originally called “Funda”. With its population,
many beautiful ladies were born, and the place was called “du-og sang mga
magayon”. Likewise, the first settlers of the place were known to be very
sensitive and furious when provoked. They were like an angry lion when
enraged. The people living nearby were very cautious and often said – “basi
Maga Leon naman sila”. The frequent usage of the term made an impact to
people and Funda was customarily named “Magalyon” which later on hispanized
as “Magallon”.
Once the biggest barrio of Isabela, it provided a huge income for the
town because of its marketplace. Plenty of people converge in Magallon from
the neighboring towns and sitios every Tuesday to trade with merchants from
other places.
