Second is that it came from β€œjinloc” plant that grows abundant

ly in the town. The municipality was founded during the Spanish colonial period. Earliest records of the settlement are associated with Juan de Salcedo, when he freed the locals from Chinese captivity. Out of gratitude the locals accepted Christianity and Spanish sovereignty. The clash is commemorated in a war dance called β€œBinabayani” which now forms an important part of the Religious town fiesta of Masinloc. The town was formally organized in 1607 after the Agustinians established the first church and first convent in Zambales. The town held significant roles in various chapters of our national history.
