Bacolod History

From a simple community settlement in the hills in 1770 with less than 10000 people, the city has emerged to be a metropolitan area with a population of about 400.000 people. Bacolod was named capital of the province of Negros Occidental in 1884; proclaimed as a chartered city in 1938; classified as a highly urbanized city in 1984 and in 1996 was named as one of the Outstanding Cities of the Philippines.

Under the able leadership of the Honorable Mayor Evelio R. Leonardia, Bacolod was proclaimed as one of the two Cleanest and Greenest Highly Urbanized Cities in the Philippines.

With a government that is decisively predetermined in a strong administration that knows what it wants and with an optimistic and unwavering masses, Bacolod City will undoubtedly be on the right pathway for the 21st Century.
