Hinigaran, Municipality in Negros Occidental, Philippines
Hinigaran is a municipality in Negros Occidental made up of multiple barangays where local government offices coordinate everyday services and development initiatives. The area functions with administrative centers that oversee community programs and infrastructure across these barangay divisions.
Founded in 1768, the municipality began when families from Panay including the Mongcals, Lagtapons, and Curios migrated and settled there. This early settlement established the foundation for its later development as an organized administrative area.
The Hinugyaw Festival each April and Kampana Festival in July shape the community's spiritual and social rhythm. These celebrations honor Saint Mary Magdalene and bring residents together through shared traditions and local customs.
When visiting, inquire at local government offices about available services and explore the barangays at your own pace. The municipality has several schools and educational institutions that form part of everyday community life.
The municipality is known for producing Capiz shells and manufacturing fireworks through local facilities. These two crafts have given the place a distinct economic character and shape its local identity.
