Mayorga, Leyte

Victoriano Sela, a Franciscan friar who served as the parish priest of Dulag, which included Mayorga as a barrio.Whether the natural evolution and popular usage corrupted the name "Mallorca" into the present "Mayorga," or whether the transformation was sanctioned by official decree motivated by phonetic convenience is not known.The name first appeared in the record of localities in 1865 when Capitan Lorenzo de Paz, gobernadorcillo of Dulag, created the barrio.The town was created in 1954 from the barrios of Mayorga, Andres Bonifacio, Talisay, San Roque, Burgos, Liberty, Union, Ormocay, Wilson, and the southern portion of barrio of Cogon Bingcay which were then a part of Dulag.[6] In 1957, the sitios of Picas, Guintulayan, and Bañgag were converted into barrios and renamed as Santa Cruz, General Antonio Luna, and Calipayan, respectively.
