Political History

A form of indigenous civilization developed in the island preceding the coming of the Spaniards, wherein the natives has their non-formal from of government, an alphabet and a system of trading with sea-borne merchants.

When the Spaniards came, the northern portion of the province was assigned as the Calamares Group, while the Southern portionn remained part of the Sultanate of Sulu in the 16th century. The Spaniards built a stronghold in Taytay, as evidenced by a fortress called Fort SantaIsabel, which in 1818 was appointed the capital of Calamanes province.

However, it was American who established the province of Paragua in 1902, with Cuyo as the capital. Eventually in 1905, the name was changed to Palawan and the capital moved to Puerto Princesa by virtue of Republic Act 1363.
