San Jose

According to old folks, early settlers of the place came mostly from the Ilocos provinces and from the western part of Pangasinan. They were lured by the rich fertile soil of the place and the abundant supply of water that could make farming an all year around activity. These early settlers were so industrious and hardworking that they till the land from dawn until dusk. Their hardwork, pains and labor were all rewarded at the end of the harvest season because of the bountiful harvests they have gained. In return, they offered thanks and prayers to God through the intercession of San Jose- the patron saint of the workers and laborers. These hardworking settlers adopted their patron saint and later named the place San Jose.

The place was then a flourishing agricultural community and a big barrio of the municipality. It was formerly composed of three (3) big sitios namely Siblot, Centro, and Nining. Much of its lands, were taken away along with other parts of San Nicolas when the municipality of natividad was created in 1902.

With the increase of population in San Jose ad the PACD creation of baranga’s in the 60’s, Barrio San Jose was converted into three (3) separate and distinct barangays namely barangay’s San Jose, Nining and Siblot. Brgy. San Jose is bounded on the South by the municipality of Natividad; on the north by Brgy. Siblot on the east by Brgy. Nining; and on the west by Brgy. San Roque.

As the barangay is blessed with rich and fertile soil, favorable climate, abundant water for irrigation and industrious and hardworking people, San Jose is very much flourishing as an agricultural community. Farm products are palay, corn, tobacco and vegetables. Livestock raising, overseas employment and cottage industry are the other sources of income.

Prominent families of Brgy. San Jose are the Ancheta, Cocotan, Castillo, Serquiña, Ortiz, Gabanit and Flores among others. Local leaders who became prominent leaders of the town includes Don Estanislao Hora.
