Santa Maria ( Ibanag: Ili nat Santa Maria; Ilocano: Ili ti Santa Maria; Tagalog: Bayan ng Santa Maria), officially the Municipality of Santa Maria, is a 4th class municipality in the province of Isabela, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 25,758 people. [3]
Santa Maria was officially established as an independent municipality from its mother town of Cabagan by virtue of a Spanish Royal Order dated December 4, 1879. The establishment of the town was credited to the influential Masigan family who were rooted in the place and have served as the town's chief executives for most of its history. As it neighbors the Cordillera mountains, the town served as a starting point for Spanish military expeditions to conquer the Kalingas, who nevertheless continued to trade in the town. [5]
Santa Maria is politically subdivided into 20 barangays. [6] Each barangay consists of puroks while some have sitios.
