History
The current site of Poblacion started as Barrio Payabon in the Municipality of Manjuyod. The municipality came to existence when Barrio Pabayon was joined with barrios of Malaga, Pangalaycayan, Cabugan, Piñahan, Batangan, Bulod, Atotes, Nalundan, Salong, Tubod, Canluto, Matobato, Tinaogan, Domolog, Tagaytay, and Danao and the sitios of Camodlas, Mansehe, and Cabcaban, to form the Municipality of Payabon when Executive Order No. 228 was signed on June 17, 1949 by then President Elpidio Quirino. On June 26, 1959, the municipality was renamed to its current name Bindoy, in honor of the late Hermenegildo “Bindoy” Teves Villanueva, who served as governor of Negros Oriental, assemblyman of the First District, Secretary of Labor, and Senator of the Republic.
