According to past historical accounts, Bolinao most likely was founded in 1575 by virtue of a Royal Decree from Spain. Headed by a Spanish Captain Pedro Lombi, a little over a hundred families created a settlement in an area called Binabalian on the North of Santiago Island. However, in 1596, due to the threat of Moro pirates, the settler were forced to transfer the entire town to the mainland, the current location of Bolinao.
