How did the city acquire its name?

Talisay was founded in 1648 as an estate owned by the Augustinians. In 1849, it was converted into a municipality with Silverio Fernandez as its first gobernadorcillo and Pedro Labuca as captain.

Some accounts claim that Talisay got its name from the Magtalisay trees which are widely abundant in certain areas of the municipality, while others claim that Talisay got its name from a town in Spain.
