The Comprehensive History of Estancia, Iloilo Province

I. Etymology and Origins I. Etymology and Origins The name "Estancia" derives from the Spanish word meaning "ranch" or "estate." As documented by Estancia Times Documentary, Iloilo Blogger She Mae, and the Research Center for Iloilo, the municipality takes its name from the vast agricultural ranch of Don Felipe Aguilar, a wealthy Spaniard who purchased enormous tracts of land across the island of Panay.
