Talisay

Talisay spans across 20,118 hectares of land between Silay and Bacolod cities, featuring a mix of flat terrain and moderate slopes at 176 meters elevation.

The area transformed from a settlement called Minuluan to Talisay when Augustinian Recollects arrived in 1848, establishing a parish and introducing sugarcane agriculture.

The residents of Talisay maintain their traditions through celebrations while speaking Hiligaynon as their primary language, with English and Filipino also in daily use.

The city divides into 27 barangays with San Fernando being the largest at 4,240 hectares and Zones 8 and 9 measuring just 3 hectares each.

Agricultural lands constitute 60.11 percent of Talisay's territory, while forest areas cover 32.95 percent, creating a balanced distribution of natural resources.
