Prior to its establishment during the Spanish era, the community was measured several times by the Posadas family when Don Juan Posadas was in power being the then mayor of Maynilad, now City of Manila, who at that time had a very close connection with the Spanish Government Officials. Don Juan Posadas was able to acquire all the land he wanted to measure in the entire community. He was able to build a mansion house called “Hacienda Rosario” and named after his wife Rosario. The neighboring area of said hacienda was divided into three (3) section namely: Ibaba, Ilaya and Daang Hari which still exist today.
