Etymology


The word "Toboso" was mentioned by Spanish Explorers to be a group of early American Indians living in Texas and Monterey, Mexico. Probably, Spanish Colonizers in the Philippines named this Town. Philippine history books also mentioned Spanish Colonizers naming Filipinos as "Indio" (East Indies, Indies, or Indians).


History


Executive Order No. 141 signed by former Pres. Elpidio Quirino "Organizing Certain Barrios of the Municipality of Escalante, Province of Negros Occidental, into an Independent Municipality Under the Name Toboso" the EO says:[5]

Starting from the month of Salamanca River, upstream following the course of this river to its intersection with Tinobaga Creek; thence following the course of this creek to B.B.M. No. 6; thence running in a straight line to B.B.M. No. 5; thence following the course of the Aglolomot Creek until it intersects latitude 10° 45′; thence in a straight east-to-west line which coincides with latitude 10° 45′ to its intersection with the present Escalante-Sagay boundary line; thence southwestward following the said Escalante-Sagay boundary line to the point where it intersects the present Escalante-Calatrava boundary line; thence southeastward following the Escalante-Calatrava boundary line, then the Escalante-San Carlos boundary line as shown in the boundary and index map of Escalante cadastre, B.L. case No. 2, surveyed July, 1917, to October, 1918, by survey party No. 19 of the Bureau of Lands, passing through M.B.M. No. 2, to M.B.M. No. 1, on the shore of Tañon Strait.

The organization herein made shall take effect on July 1, 1948.


Economy


Economic progress in Toboso is a bit sluggish due to the limited number of business establishments. It is commonly tagged as "one of the municipalities with a high number of poverty incidence in Negros Occidental". Since its municipality recognition on July 1, 1948, the town struggled to be at par with its neighboring cities like Escalante, Sagay, San Carlos and the town of Calatrava.[6]

Economy depends on sugarcane plantation, farming (livestocks and poultry/game fowl) and fishing. Inhabitants often find work in neighboring provinces (engage in shipbuilding). Others worked as Overseas Filipino Workers, others engage in handicraft business. Some choose food preparations and forming of local, small businesses.
