The Spanish friars initially arrived in 1751 and built their community. Tolong Nuevo (Bayawan's original name) has existed as early as 1868 as part of Tolong Viejo, after 116 years (now Municipality of Sta. Catalina). It wasn't until 1872 that it was officially designated as a pueblo. Tolong Nuevo's name was changed to Bayawan in 1953. There is a legend around the name Bayawan. It all started on a Sunday morning when a catastrophe struck. One hostile "maghat" (Spanish missionary) entered a ceremony when a priest hoisted the Holy Host as an act of consecration when the Spaniards seized this location. The priest was murdered by the "maghat" who threw a lance at him. As a result, this anecdote clarifies the origins of Bayawan's name. The word "bayaw" means "to lift." Tolong Nuevo was the name given to Bayawan when it was founded by Spanish missionaries. The Municipality of Santa Catalina is currently known as a component of this area. On December 24, 2000, Bayawan was officially designated as a city.

A Case Study of Bayawan City, Negros Oriental on Controlling the Effects of Lowland Flooding and Siltation through Sustainable Forest Land Use Planning and Management. For several decades, flooding and siltation has been the perennial bane of the city ofBayawan. It has destroyed millions upon millions of pesos worth of property and crops that whatever bounty it receives from its vast agricultural lands are always negated by the devastating effects offloods and landslides coming from its denuded and degraded upland areas. This specter of disaster becomes even more distressful to Bayawan’s 112,000 people as the effects of global climate changeand extreme weather shifts become more pronounced to the barely 5-year old new city.
