History & Identity

How it got its name

Local traditionThe San Felipe municipal history says San Narciso is named for Narciso, one of four saintly brothers from the Ilocos region who settled the towns of San Marcelino, San Antonio, San Narciso and San Felipe. This is local belief.[9]

Its story

William Allan Reed, writing in 1904, says Ilocano settlers were the most aggressive immigrants into Zambales.[10]

An 1880 book says the Recollects founded San Narciso in 1849 and that it had about 8,000 people, near the coast.[11]

In 1903 Act No. 945 joined San Felipe to San Narciso. Executive Order No. 1 of 1908 separated San Felipe again, effective 1 March 1908.[12, 13]

Timeline

  1. 1849

    An 1880 book says the Recollects founded San Narciso in 1849.[11]

  2. 15 October 1903

    Act No. 945 of 15 October 1903 reduced Zambales from twenty-five municipalities to fifteen. San Narciso was kept and took over the territory of San Felipe.[12]

  3. January 1908 (effective 1 March 1908)

    Executive Order No. 1 separated San Felipe from San Narciso, so San Narciso went back to its pre-1903 territory.[13]

Nearby

San Narciso shares a border with San Antonio, San Felipe and San Marcelino.
