Brief History of Jamindan

The Municipality of Jamindan is located at the central portion of Panay Island. It is 49.5 kms away from Roxas City, the Provincial Capital of Capiz. It is bounded on the North by the Province of Aklan, on the Northeast by the Municipality of Mambusao, West by the Province of Antique and on the South by the Municipality of Tapaz. Its exact location is in coordinates 122°30.3’ North Longitude and 11°24” North Latitude.
Topography is one of the biggest municipality in the Province of Capiz in terms of land area with 54,425 hectares which comprise 29.3% of the total provincial area. It has a mountainous and hilly terrain specifically on the northernmost and southwest portions. The whole topography is steeply sloping at western portion and gently sloping at the eastern portion of the municipality. More or less 40.62% of the province’s forestland is situated in Jamindan.

The town of Jamindan has been under the rule of Spaniards for almost 3 centuries. The richness of its culture and traditions could be attributed to its past like any other towns in the island of Panay. The Spanish influence has literally been acculturated to the present system. It's people's warmth and hospitality and their afflictions in the past greatly affected the personality of the people and became the striking force towards making Jamindan on its present state.

The place got its name from a tree called "Hamindang" which grow abundantly in the community. This tree grows plentifully along the banks of the river during early days of history.

In the year 1744, Jamindan was made a Municipal District by then Governor Don Joaquin Dominguez. He then appointed Abao Dungon the native chieftain as the first Captain. Many distinguished leaders were reappointed after Dungon, but the most popular of them all was Kapitan Manuel Orocio who during his reign paved the way in making Jamindan into a municipality in the year 1804.
