At first, the place was a wilderness, being covered by marshy vegetation.  Little by little, clearing were made and the once wild countryside became a haven of comfort for the patient and industrious "Culiat" settlers.

Soon, news of the founding of a new fertile agricultural settlement spread and settlers from other barangays joined them, thus increasing them in number.  The influx of settlers from year to year, trebbled the clearings made, and the settlement was formed into a "barangay" under a "cabeza."

The "Cabeza de Barangay" was the recognized leader in the community.  His words had the force of laws.  He owed his position to the Alcalde Mayor who appointed him to that position.  the first cabeza was a certain "Cabeza Salas," then a Dayrit, then a Tolentino, and an Abad Santos.
