History
In the 1200s, the Chinese recorded that the nation
Pigafetta also noted a curious thing in the Kingdom: the natives were fond of cockfighting, long before this pastime was seen or even heard of in the Western Hemisphere.[citation needed]
During the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, Taytay was formally founded in 1623. Taytay became the capital of the province of Calamianes, the entire territory of Paragua (now Palawan), in 1818; and the province of Castilla, a land area occupying the northern part of Palawan, in 1858.[5]
Archived baptismal records in Cuyo, Palawan show that the last monarch of the Kingdom of Taytay was baptised into Catholic Church with the name Flores de los Santos Cabaylo (“Cabaylo, Flower of the Saints”). No other sovereign royal datu after him ruled the kingdom. King Cabaylo's descendants include the present clans of Cabaylo-Manlavi-Gabinete-Macolor as main genealogical roots. His Royal Highness Datu Dr. Fernando Macolor Cruz, who hailed from the Cabailo-Manlavi-Gabinete-Macolor line of the royal house, is the present and sole pretender to the throne of the Kingdom of Taytay.[citation needed]

The historic Taytay Fort, the
In 1957, the Island of Debangan was constituted into a barrio.[8]
