Santa Cruz, the second southernmost town of Ilocos Sur has a colorful and bloody past. Before the coming of the Spaniards which was about the early of the seventeenth century, in 1601 to be exact there was already a little settlement built by the Ilocanos beside the Patupec River. This is the river north of the present town. The hardy Ilocanos built it after a victorious battle with the Igorots who were than called “Mindayas”. These Mindayas tried to conquer the “Minlands”, at the Ilocanos were called but because if their unlaunted bravery, they were able to drive back the invaders to the mountains.
