Guimba

Guimba is a municipality in Nueva Ecija located in Central Luzon and spreads across land divided into 64 barangays. The territory features varying terrain shaped by agriculture, which forms the backbone of local life and economy.

The municipality was established by royal decree in 1897 during Spanish colonial rule. This founding moment shaped its path as an organized administrative entity in the province.

The name comes from the Ilocano word Gebba, reflecting the pottery-making tradition that shaped early settlement here. You can still see this craft influence in local production and community identity today.
