San Esteban, officially the Municipality of San Esteban (Ilocano: Ili ti San Esteban; Filipino: Bayan ng San Esteban), is a 5th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 8,381 people.[3]

Etymology

The Spaniards named the pueblo (the equivalent of a municipality in present-day terms) San Esteban (formerly known as Cabagbagototan) because they have received reports of a vagabond named Iban having been stoned to death and beheaded by hostile natives in the place called "Naglawlawayan," which is an early place of worship by the natives, and currently the site of the municipal cemetery. "Iban" is the Ilocano equivalent of "Stephen," hence the pueblo being named San Esteban.

San Esteban was founded by Augustinian friars in 1625, but was always attached to Nueva Coveta (present-day Burgos) and to the municipality of Santiago until 1911. It was once a visita of Narvacan because of a shortage of ministers.

Geography

San Esteban is 363 kilometres (226 mi) from Metro Manila and 44 kilometres (27 mi) from Vigan City, the provincial capital. It is bordered by the municipality of Santa Maria to the north, Burgos to the east and Santiago to the south
