San Rafael is located 74 kilometres (46 mi) from the provincial capital, Iloilo City. It is bordered by Dumarao to the north, Lemery to the east, Barotac Viejo to the south, and Passi City to the west.


History


In 1969, all or part of 16 barrios (barangays) of Barotac Viejo were separated from that town and consolidated into the new municipality.[5] However, in 1971 Republic Act No. 6267 decreed that 5 barrios be restored to Barotac Viejo, with the barrio of Omio becoming part of Lemery.[6]


Fire


In February 2012, a fire damaged 18 stalls in the public market.[7] Because San Rafael has no fire station, fire trucks had to be called in from nearby towns.


Typhoon Haiyan


Typhoon Haiyan passed over Panay Island on November 8, 2013,[8] affecting San Rafael along with several other coastal cities. The provincial board declared the state of Iloilo to be in a state of emergency, after acting governor Raul C. Tupas toured the fifth district.[9] Local convenience stores were heavily damaged during the storm, although at least one reopened soon after.[10] Several houses were damaged during the typhoon. They were destroyed by strong wind and falling trees. After a few days, relief soon arrived. Several new houses were built by a religious organization.
