History of the Ivisan, Capiz
Long before the Spanish invasion, this place was wilderness, sorrounded with thick foliage and big trees. The people lived by groups at first, composed of about five or seven families. Later on these groups founded a village. Due to geographical situation of the town the chief livelihood of the people were mostly fishing and little farming. Whenever people from far villages yearned for fresh fish they always said, "Let us go the place where there is an abundance of "Ibis" (refers to small fish). They usually come in groups and stayed for weeks, salting and preserving the small fish they could get. Later on, when the Spaniards came, they thought it wise to give a proper name to the village. The Provincial Governor appointed a committee. This in turn called a meeting of all the prominent men of the village purposely for the selection of an appropriate name for this pueblo. The people together with the Spanish Officials, aware of the fact that the place was famous for "Ibis", unanimously deemed it right and proper to call it "Ibisan". Officially however, the Spaniards called it "Ivisan" because of their preference of the letter V to B. Modern scholars nevertheless, under the influence of American educators called it "Iuisan" primarily for the sake of euphony and secondly for the reason that in the old roman writing they write the letter "U" as "V" hence reading V as U as IUISAN.
The municipality of Ivisan has quite an interesting and unique history all its own, especially its struggle for political and economic existence. Numerous and countless were the trials as well as tribulations encountered by our forefathers and civic minded citizens before this place was made into third class municipality.
Ever-dreaming and longing for a better place for themselves and their offspring, these men continued to work and labor for the improvement and uplifment of the community and masses, until their longed-for dreams and desires were duly realized. Some died before their ideals materialized while several others minded not time, money nor sufferings in order to achieve their dreams.
