HISTORY
OF
PUERTO GALERA

It is said that Puerto Galera was discovered by the Spaniards in the early 16th century. They found it to be a haven for their trade ships during heavy squalls and typhoons, hence the name "Puerto De Galera," which means "Port of Galleons" in Spanish.
‍
Founded in 1574 as the capital of Mindoro, Puerto Galera is one of the oldest settlements of religious missionaries in the island. Originally located at Lagundian, now a place called Minolo, the town had to be relocated to its present site due to frequent Moro raids. It was then named Puerto Galera. Spanish galleons traveling from Mexico and Spain sought refuge in Puerto Galera during stormy weather before proceeding to Manila. In 1837, the seat of government was transferred to Calapan.
‍
Guarding the coast of Puerto Galera was a Spanish warship, the El Cañonero de Mariveles, which sank during a powerful storm on November 18, 1879. A commemorative cross was erected in Muelle as a tribute.
‍
During the overthrow of the Spanish government in Mindoro from 1898 to 1900, revolutionaries from Puerto Galera played an active role under the leadership of brothers Miguel and Estanislao Cobarrubias Sr. In the American occupation, Captain Robert Offley was appointed as the military governor on November 2, 1902, and Puerto Galera once again became the capital of the province until 1903. Finally, on December 7, 1927, the municipality of Puerto Galera was officially created through the passing of Act 3415 by the Philippine Congress.
‍
Today, the picturesque Puerto Galera stands as the center of tourism in the province.
