I. OVERVIEW
A. BRIEF HISTORY
Because of the dark-skinned Negritos who lived there, the Spaniards renamed the
Negros Island Buglas and gave it the new name Negros.Ilog served as the
province's first capital until it was replaced by Himamaylan in 1743. In 1849, Bacolod
was named the province's capital. The province of Negros Occidental was
established on March 10, 1917.
The province was split in half in 1986, with Negros del Norte designated as the
northern province. But later that year, the Supreme Court ruled that the creation was
unconstitutional, which led to Negros Occidental being restored to health.
B. GEOGRAPHY
Negros Occidental is situated on Negros Island's western side. Negros Island is the
fourth-largest island in the Philippines, measuring 7,926.06 square kilometers in total
land area. kms. From north to south, the province is about 375 kilometers long.
Tanon Strait, Negros Oriental Province, the Visayan Sea, the Panay Gulf, and the
Sulu Sea form its northern, western, eastern, and southern borders, respectively.
Since Negros is primarily volcanic, its soil is excellent for farming. 80 percent of the
world's arable land is under cultivation.
C. POLITICAL SUBDIVISION
A province in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines, Negros Occidental takes
up the western portion of the Visayas. 7,844.12 square kilometers, or 3,028.63
square miles, make up the province's land area. 2,623,172 people were living there
as of the 2020 Census. This was equivalent to 2.41% of the Philippines' total
population, 12.74% of the Visayas island group, and 32.98% of the Western Visayas
region's total population. These numbers are used to calculate the population
density, which is 334 people per square kilometer or 866 people per square mile.
D. CLIMATE
E. MAJOR INDUSTRIES
The "sugar bowl" of the nation is Negros Occidental, which is well-known for its
sugar production. More than half of the nation's sugar is made there. There are
fifteen sugar centrals spread out across the province.
However, due to the priority placed on sugar cane, other crops are imported from
nearby provinces. The province is starting to grow new crops like coffee, black
pepper, and ramie, among others, in response to the recent drop in the price of
sugar on the global market.
The town of Sipalay is home to one of the largest copper mines in the nation.
