It qualified to become a “pueblo”. When it’ POPULATION increased caused by the emigration of ILOCANOS from ILOCANDIA. The first seat of the “pueblo government” was in Barrio SINDOL. The head of the pueblo was called “Capital Municipal”. The seat of the pueblo was later transferred to BOBULON, now the town proper, because it had a wider area for residential purposes.
