LA CARLOTA CITY | NEGROS OCCIDENTAL | TRAVEL NEGROS

La Carlota was an agricultural settlement called Simancas, placed under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Valladolid. On July 23, 1864, the people and territories of San Enrique, Pontevedra and Simancas were taken away from Valladolid to form the town of San Enrique. On October 15, 1869, the king of Spain issued a Royal Decree elevating Pontevedra into a parish and Simancas into a town. In 1871, King Carlos of Spain issued another Royal Decree changing the name of the town from Simancas to La Carlota upon the request of Spanish “Carlistas” in Simancas who were followers of King Carlos of Spain. On December 4, 1876, a royal order was issued creating La Carlota as a parish. Folktales also contributed to make interesting the nascent development of La Carlota which added nuance and color to the legend. It was gathered that the settlement was actually called “Mangkas” after the tribal chief “Mantas” who adhered to Spanish rule. The old name for La Carlota is still used without confusion. On the other hand, it was passed on by word of mouth about the Spanish couple Don Enrique and Doña Carlota who distinguished themselves to the natives for their kindness and benevolence after they settled in “Mangkas.” According to the tale, the new settlement was later named by the natives “La Carlota” in memory of Don Enrique’s wife. La Carlota then became one of the fast growing towns in the whole island of Negros. In 1880, La Carlota had its first muscovado sugar mill. So well known was La Carlota’s growth that in 1881, one of the only two offices of the Bureau of Forestry in Negros Island was established in La Granja with jurisdiction over all agricultural lands. When the government decided to open two model agricultural farms, one in Luzon and the other in the Visayas, La Carlota was chosen. On November 15, 1881, a Royal Decree was issued creating the La Granja AGRICOLAS. The decree was promulgated in July 8, 1884 and La Granja in Barrio Cubay, La Carlota was opened.
