History
The town of Dupax was first discovered by Luis Pérez Dasmariñas in 1591. Eighteen years later, the mission was established by the Dominicans but was later abandoned due to territorial disputes with the Franciscans.
Colonization seemed difficult for decades. In 1717, Fr. Alejandro Cacho came on mission to Dupax and established Christian communities. On April 22, 1731, Dupax was founded as an urban settlement by the Augustinian missionaries, Fr. Nicolas Norbantes and Fr. Agustin San Juan.
In the early 18th century, Dupax was inhabited by three tribes - the Malaats from Ituy, said to be the ancestors of the Isinays, the town's first inhabitants, occupied an area known as Parai. The other two were the Caraos and the Bugcalots.
During the 1818 Spanish census, Dupax had 867 native families living in harmony with 6 Spanish-Filipino families.
