History
Cordon was originally founded in 1878 as a settlement under the jurisdiction of Carig (now Santiago). It was established as a rest stop for travelers and a military outpost as it lies on the edge of the mountain pass that separates the provinces of Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya. In 1896, it was converted into a town by a Spanish Royal Decree. The origin of the name is unclear, with the first mention of the name dating from 1837 when a Spanish military expedition mentioned the existence of a warehouse called Cordon in the area. Other accounts mention that the place was a quarantine stop for travelers to and from the Cagayan Valley.
