Eustacio Torres in 1870. Banate, one of the coastal towns in northern Iloilo, was founded in 1763 and subsequently united to Dumangas due to its small population as a result of frequent Muslim attacks. Later it was placed under Barotac Nuevo until 1843, when it was finally established as an independent parish.
