History
The town was the official residence of the revolutionary leader and hero of Negros Oriental, Don Diego de la Viña y de la Rosa. Don Diego de la Viña shaped the beginnings of the municipality, “Valle hermoso” when he saw the beautiful valley. In 1881, Don Diego de la Viña came from Negros Occidental in search of territories to conquer. The land or valley he saw a top the mountain ranges including Kanlaon (pa-unlakan as Bukidnons named) was the wilderness and flats called Bagawines. Bukidnons, known to be unfriendly aboriginals inhabited the area. However, de la Viña sought the tribal chief, named Ka Saniko and his wife Bella Hermoza a truck and bus barter and spotter (citation needed).
