History
Summarize
Perspective
The oldest settlement in the town was found on a hilltop near the present-day Cuyapo-Munos trail, where a sacred balete tree stood and travelers and farmers came to rest. The area later became known as Talugtug-Balete, which became a barrio of the Municipality of Cuyapo in 1917. A part of the barrio was later absorbed into the Municipality of Guimba and became the barrio of San Isidro. During this time, Mariano Mendoza, Pablo Dacayo, Andres Dumandan and Severino Cachuela became the tenientes del barrio of old Talugtug.
After World War II, members of the town held a meeting on November 3, 1946, to launch the proposed creation of a separate municipality. The meeting was chaired by Romualdo Estillore, with aid from officers Aniceto Feliciano, Simeon Ramos, and Fermin Ancheta, while the campaign for the town's creation was heavily supported by the locals. The proposal was presented to the provincial board on December 6, 1946, and approved on February 12, 1947. On January 10, 1948, President Manuel Roxas signed Executive Order No. 113, officially creating Talutug as the 26th municipality of Nueva Ecija.[5]
In 1982, the Talugtug massacre occurred, where the Marcos-controlled military killed a number of Ilocanos in the town.[6]
