BARANGAY POBLACION II
HISTORY
Sagay Poblacion was formerly called “Dalusan”, a local name of bamboo which abounds in the area. In 1942, when Vice-Mayor Amalio Cueva, Sr. took over the municipal leadership from Mayor Jose B. Puey, Sr., the later being appointed as Provincial Board Member of the Province of Negros Occidental, he initiated the transfer of the town proper from Old Sagay (then Old Poblacion) to its present site-Dalusan.
The transfer was made possible with the land donation for the town site by Doña Rosario Cooper and the heirs of the late Clayton Nichols. Schools, market and commercial establishments sprang up overnight and the people from nearby town and cities transferred in the area for good.
In 1972, former President Ferdinand E. Marcos issued a decree creating barangays within the Poblacion proper. Sagay Pobacion was then divided into two barangays namely: Brgy. Poblacion I and Poblacion II. The boundary line set by the Sangguniang Bayan for the division of the two barangays is the railroad line located in the center of the poblacion.The first Barangay Captain appointed by Mayor Alfredo G. Marañon, Jr. for Poblacion II was Mr. Josue S. Curiana, Sr.
