History

The Municipal district of Imugan (now Santa Fe) was an Igorot settlement during the Spanish era. It was one of the settlements discovered during the mission of Ituy, which later became part if the jurisdiction of the Commandencia of Kayapa. It became part of Aritao before it finally stood independently as a small rich town.

Its original inhabitants were the Kalanguya, cultural minority belonging to the Igorot tribe then later on followed by the Pangasinenses and the Tagalogs. Owing to the industriousness and the perseverance of the immigrants, the places gradually turn to be the progressive and the productive municipal district. With the advancement of time the immigrants themselves derived the same Santa Fe in honor of the Patron Saint San Jose-Santa Fe.

The Municipal district of Imugan was founded by Governor General Francis Burton Harrison in 1917. On 9 November 1950, Executive Order No. 368,[5] signed by President Elpidio Quirino, abolished the municipal district structure in government and attached Imugan to Aritao and Kayapa. Republic Act. No. 2179[6] was enacted on May 6, 1959, recreating the Municipal district of Imugan and changing its name to Santa Fe. By virtue of Executive Order No., 77 dated July 1, 1964[7] it was converted from a municipal district to a regular municipality by President Ferdinand E. Marcos, after learning of the town's annual average income of P58,510.40 during the four (4) consecutive fiscal years which ended on June 30, 1964, by virtue of Republic Act No. 1515.
