It is also the most populous inland/landlocked city in Mindanao. It is the third largest city in Northern Mindanao in terms of population, after [[Cagayan de Oro]] and [[Iligan|Iligan City]] respectively. The city serves as the center of trade and commerce in the province of Bukidnon.
==History==
===Origins===
The territory that now comprises the city of Valencia is combined from thirteen [[Barangay]]s of the [[Malaybalay|City of Malaybalay, Bukidnon]].
The earliest inhabitants in the area, presently comprising part of the Poblacion, were [[Lumad#Bukidnon|Bukidnon natives]] who founded a settlement along the banks of [[Pulangi River]] and the confluence of the dumanggas River. The pioneers were led by Darwin Dumanggas Manangkila together with the families of the Binalhays, Laugas, Dongogans, Gua-ans, Lanayans, and the Arenzos. The first site of the settlement was a sitio named ''“Panglibatuhan”'' because the area was thickly forested by tree species called by the natives as “[[Malibato]] trees”.
In 1911, a one-room barrio school was opened, and its first teacher was the late Leon Galorport. The school site is approximately the present location of the ''Poblacion Barangay High School''. Galorport, who came from his hometown, [[Valencia, Bohol]] named the school ''“Valencia School”''. When the sitio became a barrio of Malaybalay, the resident agreed to name it “Valencia”. Finally, when the southern portion of Malaybalay was separated as a new municipality, the petitioners agreed to name the municipality as “Valencia”. The barrio which was Valencia is now Barangay Poblacion and is the seat of the city government of Valencia.
The rich natural resources found in the territory eventually attracted Christian settlers from the highly populated coastal areas of [[Mindanao]], [[Visayas]] and [[Luzon]] islands.
===Political birth===
The prime mover in the creation of Valencia as a municipality was Teodoro Pepito, who spearheaded a petition by the residents of barrio Valencia and neighboring barrios to convert the territory into a full-fledged municipality. The petition was forwarded to the Provincial Board of the Bukidnon province for consideration. The Provincial Board passed a resolution approving the creation of the Municipality of Valencia and forwarded the same to the [[President of the Philippines|Office of the President of the Philippines]].
By virtue of the provisions of ''Executive Order No. 360'', the municipality of Valencia was formally born on January 16, 1961. The barrios of Bagontaas, Cawayanon (Vintar), Guinoyuran, Laligan, Lilingayon, Lumbayao, Lurugan, Maapag, Mailag, San Isidro, Sugod, Tongantongan, and Valencia were separated from then Municipality of Malaybalay to form the Municipality of Valencia.<ref>{{Cite web|title=CREATING THE MUNICIPALITY OF VALENCIA IN THE PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON|url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1959/10/11/executive-order-no-360-s-1959/|last=|first=|date=|website=Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines|access-date=}}</ref> In 1961, [[Carlos P. Garcia|President Carlos P. Garcia]] appointed Teodoro Pepito and Ernesto Garcia as the mayor and vice mayor respectively. Upon the election of [[Diosdado Macapagal|President Diosdado Macapagal]] in November 1961, another set of municipal officials were appointed, with Lucilo Alkuino as municipal mayor and Solomon Gao-ay as vice mayor. Thus, between 1962 and 1963, two sets of municipal officials have served the municipality of Valencia.<ref name="LP2">{{cite web | url=http://www.lawphil.net/judjuris/juri1965/may1965/gr_l-21764_1965.html | title=G.R. No. L-21764 | publisher=The Lawphil Project: An Arellano Law Foundation | date=May 31, 1965 | accessdate=August 7, 2012}}</ref> Later on, some sitios of the original barrios became regular barangays, resulting to the present 31 barangays of Valencia City.
During the regular local election in November 1963, Pepito won and became the first elected mayor, with Ernesto Garcia as the vice mayor. Mayor Pepito was re-elected in 1967 and again in 1971. However, before his term expired in 1975, [[Proclamation № 1081|martial law]] was declared by [[Ferdinand Marcos|President Ferdinand Marcos]] in 1972 and elections for local officials were suspended. Mayor Pepito continued to hold office as mayor until 1978, when he retired from government service. The vice mayor, Absalon Catarata, succeeded as municipal mayor until 1979, when President Ferdinand Marcos appointed Santiago Dablio as acting mayor of Valencia.
In 1980 local elections, Absalon Catarata was elected municipal mayor, with Romulo Makalood as vice mayor together with all the councilors in the opposition ticket. In February 1986, the [[People Power Revolution]] in [[Manila]] took place and [[Corazon Aquino]] became the [[President of the Philippines|President of the Republic]].
During the campaign for the approval of the new constitution, the municipal government under the leadership of Absalon Catarata wholeheartedly supported it. In January 1988, Catarata was re-elected as mayor and his running mate, Berthobal Ancheta was elected as vice mayor together with seven councilors under his party. Months later, he was elected president of the Bukidnon Mayors League and similarly as president of the Mayor's League of Region X.
On the evening of April 21, 1988, Absalon Catarata was fatally shot by an unknown assassin in front of his residence while waiting for his service vehicle which would have fetched him to an evening program at the town plaza. After his death, Vice Mayor Berthobal Ancheta became the municipal mayor, and Afrodisia Catarata, the wife of then Mayor, was appointed member of the [[Sangguniang Bayan]]. In the synchronized elections of 1990, Mayor Berthobal Ancheta was re-elected while Afrodisia Catarata was elected as vice mayor up to June 2001.

In the 2010 general elections, incumbent Leandro Jose Catarata was reelected for a second term; while Benjamin Verano, Sr., Catarata's running mate, won the vice mayoralty position of the City of Valencia. However early in 2010, Verano died at office and was replaced by Azucena Huervas, the president of Valencia's Association of Barangay Captains.
On June 9, 2014, Vice Mayor Azucena Huervas assumed the mayorship of the city after the conviction of Mayor Galario for violating the Anti-graft and Corrupt practices Act (RA 3019) in relation to his order transferring Ruth P. Piano from Budget Office to a non-existing office of City Liaison Officer.<ref name="Galario"/>

Commercial activities are centered on the Poblacion, particularly at the locally termed ''"Centro" (Downtown)''. Several retail stores, banks, and commercial establishments are located in this area of Poblacion. Aside from the ''Centro'' proper, there are some commercial establishments at ''Hagkol'', on the north portion of Poblacion. It is a result of northward urban expansion of the city. Famous motorbike and vehicle retailers, hotels, schools, hospitals and cafes are located at the ''Hagkol'' area.
Valencia City has two functional public markets:
*Valencia City Public Market – located at the commercial center of the city, along G. Laviña Avenue. It serves as the central market of the population.
*Valencia Farmer's Market – it is found along Guinoyuran Road. Located in the upper part of Poblacion, it serves as the landing area of agricultural and aquatic products from neighboring towns and provinces. It is near to the proposed second branch of NVM Mall.
Of the 52 banks actively serving region of Bukidnon, 20 banks (about 40% of the province) are located in Valencia City.

=== Agriculture ===
The city has a total land area of 63,126 hectares. 35,321.74 hectares or 55.95% of this is the total agricultural area that is suitable for crop production. This illustrates that the City is agricultural-based; people depend on much of their source of income through farming, livestock, and poultry. Valencia is nicknamed as the City of Golden Harvest because of its vast rice plains along the barangays north and east of Pulangi River. Valencia's clay-rich, soil which is highly irrigated and favourable to climatic condition, is very conducive for crop production.<ref>http://cityofvalencia.gov.ph/services1?id=37</ref>

It is also the most populous inland/landlocked city in Mindanao. It is the third largest city in Northern Mindanao in terms of population, after [[Cagayan de Oro]] and [[Iligan|Iligan City]] respectively. The city serves as the center of trade and commerce in the province of Bukidnon.
==History==
===Origins===
The territory that now comprises the city of Valencia is combined from thirteen [[Barangay]]s of the [[Malaybalay|City of Malaybalay, Bukidnon]].
The earliest inhabitants in the area, presently comprising part of the Poblacion, were [[Lumad#Bukidnon|Bukidnon natives]] who founded a settlement along the banks of [[Pulangi River]] and the confluence of the dumanggas River. The pioneers were led by Darwin Dumanggas Manangkila together with the families of the Binalhays, Laugas, Dongogans, Gua-ans, Lanayans, and the Arenzos. The first site of the settlement was a sitio named ''“Panglibatuhan”'' because the area was thickly forested by tree species called by the natives as “[[Malibato]] trees”.
In 1911, a one-room barrio school was opened, and its first teacher was the late Leon Galorport. The school site is approximately the present location of the ''Poblacion Barangay High School''. Galorport, who came from his hometown, [[Valencia, Bohol]] named the school ''“Valencia School”''. When the sitio became a barrio of Malaybalay, the resident agreed to name it “Valencia”. Finally, when the southern portion of Malaybalay was separated as a new municipality, the petitioners agreed to name the municipality as “Valencia”. The barrio which was Valencia is now Barangay Poblacion and is the seat of the city government of Valencia.
The rich natural resources found in the territory eventually attracted Christian settlers from the highly populated coastal areas of [[Mindanao]], [[Visayas]] and [[Luzon]] islands.
===Political birth===
The prime mover in the creation of Valencia as a municipality was Teodoro Pepito, who spearheaded a petition by the residents of barrio Valencia and neighboring barrios to convert the territory into a full-fledged municipality. The petition was forwarded to the Provincial Board of the Bukidnon province for consideration. The Provincial Board passed a resolution approving the creation of the Municipality of Valencia and forwarded the same to the [[President of the Philippines|Office of the President of the Philippines]].
By virtue of the provisions of ''Executive Order No. 360'', the municipality of Valencia was formally born on January 16, 1961. The barrios of Bagontaas, Cawayanon (Vintar), Guinoyuran, Laligan, Lilingayon, Lumbayao, Lurugan, Maapag, Mailag, San Isidro, Sugod, Tongantongan, and Valencia were separated from then Municipality of Malaybalay to form the Municipality of Valencia.<ref>{{Cite web|title=CREATING THE MUNICIPALITY OF VALENCIA IN THE PROVINCE OF BUKIDNON|url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1959/10/11/executive-order-no-360-s-1959/|last=|first=|date=|website=Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines|access-date=}}</ref> In 1961, [[Carlos P. Garcia|President Carlos P. Garcia]] appointed Teodoro Pepito and Ernesto Garcia as the mayor and vice mayor respectively. Upon the election of [[Diosdado Macapagal|President Diosdado Macapagal]] in November 1961, another set of municipal officials were appointed, with Lucilo Alkuino as municipal mayor and Solomon Gao-ay as vice mayor. Thus, between 1962 and 1963, two sets of municipal officials have served the municipality of Valencia.<ref name="LP2">{{cite web | url=http://www.lawphil.net/judjuris/juri1965/may1965/gr_l-21764_1965.html | title=G.R. No. L-21764 | publisher=The Lawphil Project: An Arellano Law Foundation | date=May 31, 1965 | accessdate=August 7, 2012}}</ref> Later on, some sitios of the original barrios became regular barangays, resulting to the present 31 barangays of Valencia City.
During the regular local election in November 1963, Pepito won and became the first elected mayor, with Ernesto Garcia as the vice mayor. Mayor Pepito was re-elected in 1967 and again in 1971. However, before his term expired in 1975, [[Proclamation № 1081|martial law]] was declared by [[Ferdinand Marcos|President Ferdinand Marcos]] in 1972 and elections for local officials were suspended. Mayor Pepito continued to hold office as mayor until 1978, when he retired from government service. The vice mayor, Absalon Catarata, succeeded as municipal mayor until 1979, when President Ferdinand Marcos appointed Santiago Dablio as acting mayor of Valencia.
In 1980 local elections, Absalon Catarata was elected municipal mayor, with Romulo Makalood as vice mayor together with all the councilors in the opposition ticket. In February 1986, the [[People Power Revolution]] in [[Manila]] took place and [[Corazon Aquino]] became the [[President of the Philippines|President of the Republic]].
During the campaign for the approval of the new constitution, the municipal government under the leadership of Absalon Catarata wholeheartedly supported it. In January 1988, Catarata was re-elected as mayor and his running mate, Berthobal Ancheta was elected as vice mayor together with seven councilors under his party. Months later, he was elected president of the Bukidnon Mayors League and similarly as president of the Mayor's League of Region X.
On the evening of April 21, 1988, Absalon Catarata was fatally shot by an unknown assassin in front of his residence while waiting for his service vehicle which would have fetched him to an evening program at the town plaza. After his death, Vice Mayor Berthobal Ancheta became the municipal mayor, and Afrodisia Catarata, the wife of then Mayor, was appointed member of the [[Sangguniang Bayan]]. In the synchronized elections of 1990, Mayor Berthobal Ancheta was re-elected while Afrodisia Catarata was elected as vice mayor up to June 2001.

Valencia City has two functional public markets:
*Valencia City Public Market – located at the commercial center of the city, along G. Laviña Avenue. It serves as the central market of the population.
*Valencia Farmer's Market – it is found along Guinoyuran Road. Located in the upper part of Poblacion, it serves as the landing area of agricultural and aquatic products from neighboring towns and provinces. It is near to the proposed second branch of NVM Mall.

Valencia is nicknamed as the City of Golden Harvest because of its vast rice plains along the barangays north and east of Pulangi River. Valencia's clay-rich, soil which is highly irrigated and favourable to climatic condition, is very conducive for crop production.<ref>http://cityofvalencia.gov.ph/services1?id=37</ref>

<p>The territory that now comprises the city of Valencia is combined from thirteen <a href="/wiki/Barangay" title="Barangay">Barangays</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Malaybalay" title="Malaybalay">City of Malaybalay, Bukidnon</a>.
</p><p>The earliest inhabitants in the area, presently comprising part of the Poblacion, were <a href="/wiki/Lumad#Bukidnon" title="Lumad">Bukidnon natives</a> who founded a settlement along the banks of <a href="/wiki/Pulangi_River" title="Pulangi River">Pulangi River</a> and the confluence of the dumanggas River. The pioneers were led by Darwin Dumanggas Manangkila together with the families of the Binalhays, Laugas, Dongogans, Gua-ans, Lanayans, and the Arenzos. The first site of the settlement was a sitio named <i>“Panglibatuhan”</i> because the area was thickly forested by tree species called by the natives as “<a href="/wiki/Malibato" title="Malibato">Malibato</a> trees”.
</p><p>In 1911, a one-room barrio school was opened, and its first teacher was the late Leon Galorport. The school site is approximately the present location of the <i>Poblacion Barangay High School</i>.

<p>The prime mover in the creation of Valencia as a municipality was Teodoro Pepito, who spearheaded a petition by the residents of barrio Valencia and neighboring barrios to convert the territory into a full-fledged municipality. The petition was forwarded to the Provincial Board of the Bukidnon province for consideration. The Provincial Board passed a resolution approving the creation of the Municipality of Valencia and forwarded the same to the <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_Philippines" title="President of the Philippines">Office of the President of the Philippines</a>.
</p><p>By virtue of the provisions of <i>Executive Order No. 360</i>, the municipality of Valencia was formally born on January 16, 1961. The barrios of Bagontaas, Cawayanon (Vintar), Guinoyuran, Laligan, Lilingayon, Lumbayao, Lurugan, Maapag, Mailag, San Isidro, Sugod, Tongantongan, and Valencia were separated from then Municipality of Malaybalay to form the Municipality of Valencia.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup> In 1961, <a href="/wiki/Carlos_P._Garcia" title="Carlos P. Garcia">President Carlos P. Garcia</a> appointed Teodoro Pepito and Ernesto Garcia as the mayor and vice mayor respectively. Upon the election of <a href="/wiki/Diosdado_Macapagal" title="Diosdado Macapagal">President Diosdado Macapagal</a> in November 1961, another set of municipal officials were appointed, with Lucilo Alkuino as municipal mayor and Solomon Gao-ay as vice mayor. Thus, between 1962 and 1963, two sets of municipal officials have served the municipality of Valencia.<sup id="cite_ref-LP2_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LP2-8">[8]</a></sup> Later on, some sitios of the original barrios became regular barangays, resulting to the present 31 barangays of Valencia City.
</p><p>During the regular local election in November 1963, Pepito won and became the first elected mayor, with Ernesto Garcia as the vice mayor. Mayor Pepito was re-elected in 1967 and again in 1971. However, before his term expired in 1975, <a href="/wiki/Proclamation_%E2%84%96_1081" class="mw-redirect" title="Proclamation № 1081">martial law</a> was declared by <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_Marcos" title="Ferdinand Marcos">President Ferdinand Marcos</a> in 1972 and elections for local officials were suspended. Mayor Pepito continued to hold office as mayor until 1978, when he retired from government service. The vice mayor, Absalon Catarata, succeeded as municipal mayor until 1979, when President Ferdinand Marcos appointed Santiago Dablio as acting mayor of Valencia.
</p><p>In 1980 local elections, Absalon Catarata was elected municipal mayor, with Romulo Makalood as vice mayor together with all the councilors in the opposition ticket. In February 1986, the <a href="/wiki/People_Power_Revolution" title="People Power Revolution">People Power Revolution</a> in <a href="/wiki/Manila" title="Manila">Manila</a> took place and <a href="/wiki/Corazon_Aquino" title="Corazon Aquino">Corazon Aquino</a> became the <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_Philippines" title="President of the Philippines">President of the Republic</a>.
</p><p>During the campaign for the approval of the new constitution, the municipal government under the leadership of Absalon Catarata wholeheartedly supported it. In January 1988, Catarata was re-elected as mayor and his running mate, Berthobal Ancheta was elected as vice mayor together with seven councilors under his party. Months later, he was elected president of the Bukidnon Mayors League and similarly as president of the Mayor's League of Region X.
</p><p>On the evening of April 21, 1988, Absalon Catarata was fatally shot by an unknown assassin in front of his residence while waiting for his service vehicle which would have fetched him to an evening program at the town plaza. After his death, Vice Mayor Berthobal Ancheta became the municipal mayor, and Afrodisia Catarata, the wife of then Mayor, was appointed member of the <a href="/wiki/Sangguniang_Bayan" title="Sangguniang Bayan">Sangguniang Bayan</a>. In the synchronized elections of 1990, Mayor Berthobal Ancheta was re-elected while Afrodisia Catarata was elected as vice mayor up to June 2001.
