In 1853, the town of Pontevedra was established at the resent site of Barangay Sublangon. Formerly, this town was a part of Panay, being the first settlement in the Province of Capiz.
​
It was only in the year 1856 when General Crespo passed a decree making it an independent town from Panay.

Three years after, the town leaders decided to transfer the poblacion to its present site because of the accessibility to the mouth of the big and navigable Agbalo River.

Father Gregorio Hermida became the first Spanish friar to take charge of the town parish. This Spanish friar found the striking resemblance of the town with that of his hometown in Pontevedra, Spain and henceforth, through his influence, the town was named, PONTEVEDRA.
​
St. Isidore the Farmer, was founded in 1878 by Spanish Augustinian Friars under the leadership of Fr. Gregorio Hermida.
