    The early inhabitants of the area that is now Cabatuan, Isabela were the Kalinga people, who lived in tree houses along the Magat River and depended on hunting, fishing, and some agriculture. In 1912, Ilocano settlers began arriving and conflicts arose with the Kalingas over land. The two groups eventually made a peace agreement. In 1914, Cabatuan was incorporated into the municipality of Cauayan. It gained independence as a separate municipality through an executive order signed by President Quirino in 1949. Chinese and other migrant groups also settled in Cabatuan over time.

    CABATUAN, ISABELA
    The early inhabitants of the vast forest land were the Kalingas who are indigenous to the
    mountain provinces. These settlers lived on tree houses which they built along the banks of the bountiful
    and mighty Magat River. These sturdy, dark complexioned, G-stringed, soldier-like people depended on
    hunting, fishing and a little agriculture and poultry.
    In 1912, the pioneering Ilocanos started arriving with their families, relatives and friends. The
    Ilocanos settled away from the river but the Kalingas considered it an intrusion which later led to the
    encounters where the Ilocanos used piles of stones to drive away the ferocious Kalingas. The act of
    throwing stones was called ambatuan which later evolved to cabatuan. The warring groups eventually
    became friends thru a peace pact led by their respective leaders and the place became known as
    Cabatuan.
    In 1914, Cabatuan was incorporated with the Municipality of Cauayan. Many leaders emerged
    from the Cabatuan settlers and seeing that they are a political threat to the Cauayan leadership, the
    Municipal Council of Cauayan in 1948 agreed and endorsed the segregation of Cabatuan from the
    mother town. Through the initiative of the delegation formed by leaders who hailed from Barrio Cabatuan,
    Executive Order 293 creating the Municipality of Cabatuan was finally signed by President Elpidio R.
    Quirino in Malacaang on November 5, 1949. On November 30, 1949, the set of municipal officials
    appointed by President Quirino took their oath of office signaling the independence of Cabatuan from its
    mother town.
    The land where Cabatuan now nestles was once teeming with vegetation, wildlife and fish,
    nurtured by the mighty and winding Magat River. Its history started when one of the indigenous people of
    the mountain provinces settled down in the vast valley of Cagayan where the Apayaos, Dumagats,
    Gaddangs, Ibanags, Ifugaos, Igorots, Itawes, Palananons and the Yogads were living. This tribe is known
    as the Kalingas, the name believed to have come from the Ibanag and Gaddang word, which means
    "headhunters". The Kalinga villages were strategically located along the banks of the Magat River in
    southwestern Isabela near the boundary of Ifugao province, surrounding the locality now known as Sili,
    Bolinao, Dalig Kalinga (these places are now barangays of Aurora town) and Subasta (now a sitio of
    Barangay Saranay in Cabatuan). The early Cabatuanenses were generally known to be medium in
    height, with dark complexion and lissome with high nose bridges. Physically, they were very sturdy and
    well-built so that their war-like bearing feature made them more like soldiers. They lived on tree-houses
    and depended on hunting, fishing and a little of poultry and agriculture. The Kalingas were believed to be
    the descendants of the second wave of Malay who came to the Islands from Borneo. These pagans were
    headed by several able leaders like: Ronsan and Ngolan (both from Sili in Aurora town), Balindan, Melad
    and Gombi (from Bolinao, also in Aurora town), Tullayao Bayudoc (from Subasta, Saranay in Cabatuan)
    and the grand old chieftain Materig (also from Sili in Aurora town).

    The Kalingas preferred to stay in the Cabatuan area of jurisdiction rather than in Aurora because
    the town proper of Aurora then was located in Dalig, now a barangay of Burgos town.
    When the Christians arrived, the Kalingas attached the word "Infiel" before their native name to fulfill their
    yearning for a second name like those of Christians. The name "Infiel" was derived from "ynfieles", a
    Spanish friar's term for non-believers of the Christian faith.
    After the Ilocano migrants, several waves of settlers particularly locals from Pangasinan and
    Central Luzon region came to Isabela as merchants. Some of the Pangasinan pioneers were: Nicolas T.
    Almirol (original surname is Lagasca), Benito Monte, Hermogenes B. Soriben and Zacarias P. Munoz.
    Some of the Tagalog migrants were: Carlino O. Munsayac (Nueva Ecija), Atanasio H. Dayrit (San
    Fernando, Pampanga), Atty. Rafael M. Tomacruz (former mayor of Hagonoy, Bulacan and Provincial
    Board Member), Anselmo S. Esmino (Licab, Nueva Ecija), Mr. Pamintuan (Pampanga), Andres Alivia
    (Rizal, Nueva Ecija) and Antonio V. Altoveros (Rizal, Nueva Ecija).
    The Chinese also migrated to Cabatuan and opted to permanently reside in the locality and inter-
    married with young Ilocano maidens. The bulk of the Chinese migrants came from Amoy, China in the
    1930s. The Chinese migrants were: Clemente Paggabao (married Andrea Labasan), Eusebio Uy
    (married Lourdes Visaya), Juan Uy (married Felisa Acio), Mariano Uy (married Lourdes dela Cruz), Kaya
    Uy (married Carmen Rambac), Inocencio Uy (married Mercedes Domingcil), Francisco Uy (married
    Mercedes Llamelo), Guillermo Uy (married Tomasa Padron), Lorenzo Uy (married Teodora Visaya),
    Venancio Tio (married Monica Acorda), Vicente Pua (married Sabina Ventura), Joaquin Pua (married
    Entonia Labayog), Pedro Pua (married Isabela Guerrero), Kiana Uy (married Claudia Manuel), Pascual
    Pua (married Carmen Uy), Densoy Ty (married Maxima Uy), Tomas Uy, Miguel Dy, Mariano Tio, Julian
    Pua (married Felicitas Bagcal), Eusebio Tan (married Eusenia Lomotan), Jose Uy (married Adelina
    Ventura), Ben Chong (married Gue Eng Tio), Alfonso Uy (married Engracia Uy), Sytong Uy, Uwa Uy
    (married Avelina Gervacio), Ben Co (married Maria Vea), Pedro Ong (married Salud Bacallan), Pedro
    Yan (married Maria Aczon), Tio Nga Luy (married Pelagia Acosta), Alfredo Uy (married Ruperta V.
    Pancho)
