Quezon, officially the Municipality of Quezon (
Quezon is a border town of Isabela with the province of Kalinga through the Quezon-Tabuk Road. It is bordered in the west by the city of Tabuk.
Etymology
The town was named in honor of President Manuel L. Quezon, under the Republic Act No. 2418 which was approved last June 21, 1959.
History
Prior to its creation, Quezon was once part of a vast track of agricultural land called the Mallig Plains and was sparsely populated. Historians believe that its earliest inhabitants were the
When
Citing for the potential of the area for settlement and agricultural development, President Quezon declared the entire Mallig Plains as project site for his program on rural development. In support of this declaration, he created the Office of National Land Settlement Administration which was renamed to Land Settlement Development Corporation (LaSeDeCo). Subsequently, this corporation was reorganized. At that time, the primary objective of LaSeDeCo was basically to oversee and facilitate the distribution of lands to qualified settlers. With the development of this opportunity for rural and agricultural development and with the completion of the
A few years after the declaration of the area as site for settlement and agricultural development, World War II broke out and the region was later placed under Japanese control. Early settlers had difficulty rebuilding afterwards due to attacks by Kalinga tribes from the north.
One of those who fought the Kalinga was Jesus Estrada for whom a barangay was named after him. It was only after the government and leaders of the tribes negotiated and agreed to end hostilities that the threat to settlers was eventually dispelled.
With the attainment of peace and security in the area, the exodus of settlers to the area increased particularly in the area of Barrio Narra where the future site of Quezon is located. But the continued influx of settlers into the area increased the demand for basic requirements of residents. Provincial officials, particularly Representative Delfin Albano of the
The name of the municipality was in honor of the President Quezon who was instrumental in the development of the municipality.Hildebrando Pécson was appointed as the first mayor of the municipality from 1960 until 1967 when after his term limit allowed by law then, he was succeeded by Hermogenes Padilla in the 1967 local elections. In 1971, Gavino Gascon challenged Padilla and was elected. In 1976, he was replaced by William Corpuz and was in turn unseated in 1978. Oniate Tabangcura, a former military officer replaced Corpuz. When
Geography
The municipality of Quezon is one of the 34 municipalities which comprise the province of Isabela. Situated in the north-western portion of the province, it is bounded on the north by the municipalities of
Its main access is the Cagayan Valley National Highway that traverses in a general north–south direction virtually slicing the municipality lengthwise and connects it with other municipalities in Isabela. To the east lies a provincial road which links Quezon to the municipality of Santo Tomas, Isabela. Quezon is 150 kilometres (93 mi) from Ilagan and 404 kilometres (251 mi) from Manila.
Based from the data from the Municipal Accessors Office, Quezon occupies an area of 268.26 km2 or about 2.52% of the total land area of Isabela which is placed at 10,664.4 km2. The figure was based on the actual tax mapping conducted by the said office. The same figure was also used in the old town plan of Quezon and was validated by using a digital planimeter. With this figure, Quezon is the 13th largest of the 34 municipalities of Isabela and the 3rd largest out of the 11 municipalities of District 2 (San Mariano being the largest at 1,469.50 km2, followed by Aurora at 300.56 km2). It is larger than its neighbors Mallig (133.4 km2) and Roxas (184.8 km2).
Barangays
Quezon is politically subdivided into 15
Poblacion Centro (Settlement 1) consists of Alunan (Southeast Poblacion), Arellano (Northwest Poblacion), Santos (Northeast Poblacion), and Samonte (Southwest Poblacion). The rest of the barangays are rural barangays.

Topography and Geomorphology
The municipal landscape of Quezon is characterized by a mixture of relatively flatlands punctuated at certain points by undulating and rolling terrain, with mountain ranges flanking its eastern and western sides. The low-lying hills ad surrounding mountains ranges are slightly dissected by intermittent creeks and waterways, which act as natural drainage avenues of accumulated run off water coming from the uplands.
The physiography of the municipality falls into two basic categories: an alluvial plain and a mountainous terrain. The central plain, where the Poblacion is located, has an elevation of about 100 meters above mean sea level, and is predominantly characterized by low relief and moderately sloping areas. Three fourths of the town is covered by these flatland which may be considered as a broad alluvial plain with recent depositions and residual soils. These areas are found sandwiched between the eastern and western uplands as well as on the other side of the Sierra Madre foothills.
The south-western portion is characterized by the low-lying hills with undulating and rolling terrain, having elevations ranging from 90 to 120 meters above mean sea level. These are basically shale and sandstone materials which dominate the Isabela-Kalinga boundary. The eastern edge, meanwhile forms part of the foothills of the major mountain range in the area and dominates the eastern flank of Quezon. This high relief area has peak elevations of up to 200 meters above mean sea level and is composed primarily of volcanic rocks.
Soil system
Pedologic surveys conducted by the Bureau of Soils Management of the Philippine Department of Agriculture have identified two major soil series or categories in Quezon. These road categories are the Bago Sandy Clay Loam and the San Juan Clay. The San Juan Clay is extensively distributed covering about 113.94 km2 or about 60 percent of the municipality. It offers excellent potential for such agricultural land use like onchards, commercial forest, woodland and pasture/ grazing lands. The Bago Sandy Clay Loam on the other hand, covers about 75.96 square kilometres (29.33 sq mi) or bout 40% of the municipality. This particular type of soil is devoted to lowland rice farming.
Ground water and geologic formations
The assessment of the ground water resources by the Philippine National Water Resources Board in the entire province of Isabela was based on existing data on geologic formations, topography, ground surface elevations, precipitation and groundwater levels, all of which are available from the files of various agencies.
Based on the study, Quezon is classified into two categories namely: deep and shallow well areas. Shallow well areas generally consist of recent formations with slopes ranging from zero to three percent. Most of these areas are located at elevations within 50 meters above mean sea level, like alluvial and coastal plains and river valleys. Shallow wells may also have deep-water aquifer and are less susceptible to salt water intrusion. Deep well areas generally consist of sedimentary formations, 90 percent of which are water carriers, These are usually located in slopes reaching up to 10%, usually at elevations of more than 50 meters above sea level. The waters from deep wells are in general, of good quality.
Almost the entire portion of Quezon is classified as deep well area with a small portion of barangay Barucboc, having the lowest point of elevation in the entire municipality, belonging in the shallow area. Quezon s underlain with sedimentary rock formations the dominant being recent depositions of alluvium. This covers much of the municipality except in the Barucboc-Estrada area which is underlain with sandstone. The unconsolidated nature of the sandstone layers in these areas could account for the relatively shallow depth to the water data, since in general sandstones’ permeability allow good infiltration of water.
Existing general land use pattern
Clustered development influenced considerably by a grid-iron pattern of road network characterizes the existing land use pattern. Built up areas, which include
Agricultural land cover approximately 175.52 square kilometres (67.77 sq mi) or 65% of the total land area. Included are rice, corn, tobacco lands, lands devoted to vegetables, peanuts, fruit trees and other crops.
Open grasslands cover approximately 76.13 square kilometres (29.39 sq mi) or 28% of the total; however, only a small portion of these are actually being utilized as grazing/ pasture lands while a major portion is left idle.
Forest lands cover approximately 6.71 square kilometres (2.59 sq mi) or 2.5% of the total area and these are located on the eastern portion of the municipality. While the land classification indicates a vast timberland areas of more than 36 square kilometres, these do not appear to be based on the actual land use but rather on tenurial status. That is, public lands are generally termed timberland areas. Water bodies like rivers and creeks occupy an aggregate area of approximately 2.54 square kilometres (0.98 sq mi) or about 1% of the total land area of the municipality.
Land resources in Quezon could be described as somewhat underutilized given its vast potential for agro-industrial development.

The population grows tremendously. During the census of 1960, one year after its creation as a municipality, Quezon had a population of only 5,797. Its population increased to 7,271 in 1970 and 8,225 in 1975 with an annual growth of 2.25% and 2.49% respectively. The tremendous increase of population began in 1975 to 1980 where population grows to 9,820 or 3.61% growth rate. Between the 1980s and 1990s, its population grew by 16,280 with an annual growth of 5.18%. Such an increase may be attributed to natural increase and influx of migrants particularly land seekers coming from various provinces (mainly from nearby Kalinga) with the operation of Chico River Irrigation System in 1983 that propelled the agricultural boom of Quezon. Population growth between 1990 and 1995 slowed down to 1.59% with 17,617 on record. The growth rate between 1995 and 2000 regained an increase of 2.66% when the local economy improved due to the concreting of the national highway and the increased remittances of its Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) working as either professionals or skilled workers in various fields in the Middle East, USA, Canada, London (UK), Hong Kong or Singapore.
In the 2000 census of population by the Philippine Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a population of 20,090. This was about 1.56% of the total population of Isabela which were 1,287,575 for the same year.
