Etymology

edit

The town got its name afterFelipe Agoncillo,a native ofTaal, Batangas.

History

edit

Agoncillo was originally a part ofLemery.In 1945, an executive committee was formed by the first appointed Mayor Jacinto Mendoza Sr. to prepare a resolution, requesting the Secretary of the Interior,Malacañang Palace,through the provincial board to detach and separate 11 barrios and be created a municipality.

ThroughExecutive Order 140issued byPresidentElpidio Quirino,theMunicipality of Pansipitwas created.[6]But the Municipal Council of Lemery passed a resolution requesting for the revocation and suspension of the said creation. Thus, another executive order was endorsed for the conduct of a plebiscite to ascertain the true sentiments of the residents regarding the issue of separation.[7]

Finally, on April 17, 1949,Executive Order No. 212was issued by President Quirino, lifting the suspension and thereby, authorizing the immediate organization of the Municipality under the name of Agoncillo,[8]in honor ofDon Felipe Agoncillo,a native ofTaaland one of the firstFilipinorepresentatives to theSpanish Cortes.
