History
From the Spanish period until the arrival of the Americans, the Municipality of Quezon was only a small barrio of Aliaga, Nueva Ecija. This area was once a dense forest, while the open lands were grasslands thickly covered with cogon. In earlier times, the barrio was called El Toro because the area served as a pasture for cattle owned by a man named Joaquin Samson.
Under the leadership of the gobernadorcillo of Aliaga, the name El Toro was changed, and the place came to be known as Barrio Santo Niño.
The first settlers of the area came from the province of Ilocos, including the families of Simplina, Cruz, Quitan, Zuner, Sajor, Tubay, Nicolas, Capalungan, Duldulao, Lagasca, and Ignacio. They were later followed by Tagalog families from towns in the south, namely the Joson, Villasan, Samson, Magno, Domingo, Tolentino, Evangelista, Garcia, Da Jose, and Quijano families. Through their hard work and perseverance, they cleared the forests and hills and transformed them into agricultural lands.
