History;

After the creation of the Province of Zambales in 1572 by Governor General Juan de Salcedo, the town of Botolan covered the areas from the boundary lines at the middle of Bancal and Cabatuan Rivers in the North to Mount Carmen in the South. This town is a long strip of land running from Northwest to Southeast occupying a large part of the central portion of Zambales. Mostly mountainous and hilly on the East, there is a coastal plain on the western part washed by water of the China Sea. Within this region also were six (6) towns that were established between the years 1611 A.D. to 1908. These towns were “Paynawen” or Iba, Babayan, Botolan, Alambra, Rivera de San Fernando, and Cabangan. Not all of these towns however, existed to the present. The town of Iba was transferred to its present site and became the capital of the province, later the town of Babayan was abandoned after existing for about fifty years; Alambra did exist for some years but was abandoned by its people when the government authorities forced them to pay tribute. The town of Rivera de San Fernando became a barrio after being twice a battlefield between the Spaniards and Katipunan during the Philippine Revolution; and lastly, Cabangan was made a separate municipality in 1900. Only the town of Botolan remained existing from 1819 to the present. Its area covers 543.92 sq. kilometers where 23 barrios are now existing. Botolan is politically subdivided into 31 barangays. Bancal, Bangan, Batonlapoc, Belbel, Beneg, Binuclutan, Burgos, Cabatuan, Capayawan, Carael, Danacbunga, Maguisguis, Malomboy, Mambog, Moraza, Nacolcol, Owaog-Nibloc, Paco (Pob.) Palis, Panan, Parel, Paudpod, Poonbato, Porac, San Isidro, San Juan, San Miguel, Santiago, Tampo (Pob.), Taugtog and Villar.
