| General Note |
- General note - This building on Araneta street was finished in 1966. On this same spot was located the old city hall, the original residence of Jose Ruiz de Luzurriaga, first civil governor of Negros in 1901. With a land area of 15,606 hectares, Bacolod is about 300 statute miles from Manila. The first settlers of the place were migrants from the surrounding areas of Iloilo. By 1890, official transactions and the seat of the provincial government were located in Bacolod. It became a chartered city, the fourth in the country, on June 18, 1938, with the signing into law by President Quezon of Commonwealth Act 326. Sponsors of the bill creating Bacolod into a city were former Senator Pedro G. Hernaez and Speaker of the House Gil Montilla. Alfredo Montelibano was the first appointive mayor of the newly-created city.
