Origin of name

Moved from article to talk (first paragraph retained) because this is a long legend without reference(s). RJFJR (talk) 18:11, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The town was named after the "hagunoy" (scientific name Spilanthes acmella) a medicinal plant that used to be abundant in its river banks. The original populace used its leaves as their herbal remedy of choice for common illnesses.

In the 15th century, some friars took a boat from Manila to the province of Bulacan and reached what was then called Quinabalon (from the Kapampangan word "balu" which meant "well known" ~ which was then a part of the pueblo of Calumpit). These are currently the Barangays of Sta. Monica and San Jose).

At that time, a very charming lass was so popular among the young men of the locality. She had many suitors and admirers. One day, she fell ill. She needed someone to get leaves of the hagunoy plant by the river (which is now called Sapang Pari---because the friars and priests used this river to commute).

A man offered to promptly get some leaves of the plant and in deep gratitude, she promised to marry him. As he was gathering the leaves of the hagunoy plant for his dearly beloved, the group of friars in a passing boat stopped to ask him, "Quien viven?" (where are we?). The man did not understand Spanish and was extremely intimidated by the guardia civil (Spanish civil guard) that escorted the friars. Thinking that they were asking what he was grasping in his hands, he quickly retorted "hagonoy po!" (hagonoy sir!) and scampered away.

These were the first Agustinian friars that got into town and they noted the place's name as "Hagonoy". Hence, the origin of the illustrious town's name.

Legend

Moved from history section to talk, unreferenced legend. Not excatly sure where 'this' refers to. RJFJR (talk) 18:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC) This was where the first cross in this town was erected by the Spaniards. According to the town's legend, the cross was buried in the heart of this municipality; and every year the cross becomes bigger because of the Catholic faith of the Hagonoeños.[reply]
