History

Tayug is an old settlement founded by the Augustinians who were administering what was then called Upper Pampanga, which later became the province of Nueva Ecija. The exact date of its foundation is not clearly known, but it must have been at the start of 18th century, because according to a book of baptism of the town of Asingan, an Augustinian priest was already mission work at that time in Tayug and San Nicolas. A chronicle of the convents and towns founded by Augustinian Order, Biblioteca Historíca Filipina, Volume 4, mentions 1759 as the year of its foundation, while a document dated in Retiro, 19 December 1742, and signed by King Philip V of Spain, mentions Tayug as one of the places that were founded by the Augustinian missionaries.

Tayug was first officially organized as a municipality in the province of Nueva Ecija on February 4, 1817. In 1837, Tayug was ceded to the province of Pangasinan. In 1851, it was once again incorporated with the province of Nueva Ecija. The town was finally ceded to Pangasinan for the last time in 1864 after decades of uncertainty.

On October 8, 1903, Tayug absorbed the municipality of Santa Maria and ceded barrio San Andres to Asingan, by virtue of Act No. 931. However, Santa Maria was later separated as a re-established municipality on October 31, 1906.
