ESTRADA

Earlier known as Barangay Calingcuan in the 19th century , Barangay Estrada acquired its name
amidst the World War II in 1945. Residents of the then Barangay Calingcuan evacuated to a
much safer place owned by the Estradas . They were given afterwards the rights to build their
own houses within the area. Since then, the place was called Estrada, hence , Barangay Estrada.
History continues when the Estradas decided to sell the place to the Rodriguez family anf
planned to ndemolish the houses within. As situation heightens , residents decided to ask for the
aid of Governor Beinigno Ninoy Aquino Jr., who was then the governor of the province of
Tarlac. Governor Aquino then decided to just buy the 45-hectare land and redistribute it to the
people under certain specifications. 2 and hectares of the land was given to the residents of
Barangay Estrada which was subdivided to each families. Half of an hectare was donated for the
plaza of the barangay and another half hectare for thee construction of elementary school of
Barangay Estrada.
Today, aside from the customary farming, and livestock and poultry raising of the residents,
Barangay Dolores is coping with the modernization of time that reflects from the different
commercial approaches by local entrepreneurs. Asparagus is now being produced here that
contributes well to the revenue of the barangay ra-along with the ample of private subdivisions
and swimming poolresorts and other business establishments.
