JIMENEZ
Palilan was erected as a visita of Misamis during the parochial administration of Padre Francisco Jimenez de San Fermin in 1845 and it became an independent parish only in 1859 with Padre Roque Azcona as its founding parish priest and served the curacy until 1883. Palilan was named Jimenez in honor of Padre Francisco who preached the faith from Misamis to Baliangao. Jimenez comprised an immense parochial territory having five visitas: namely, Aloran, Finis (renamed San Vicente), Layauan (present-day Oroquieta), Daisog (Lopez Jaena) and Langaran (now Plaridel).
The old town of Jimenez that was located near Palilan river got flooded so heavily during this period that the parish priest and the town principalia decided to transfer the pueblo on a higher ground. The present-day site of the town and the church, then a jungle, was chosen to be the ideal place. In 1862, Padre Azcona contributed a lot for the improvement of the town. In 1882, He spearheaded the building of the church, casa tribunal, the cemetery and a school for boys and girls. He was given the task of leading the construction of roads linking Jimenez to Baliangao in the north and Loculan and Misamis in the south as commissioned by the Spanish governor of Misamis district. Padre Azcona taught the people the value of the land by encouraging them to plant not only palay but abaca and root crops as well.
During the Spanish era, Don Juan Durias was recorded as the first gobernadorcillo of Jimenez. The town was formally declared a municipality during the American occupation on 7th April 1900 with Senior Obaldo Abing as its first Presidente Municipal.
Jimenez is so rich in history and cultural heritage. The 150-year old church, the old Spanish houses and roads continue to vividly remind the people of its glorious past that is worthy of preservation for posterity. No doubt this town was recently declared a cultural heritage town by the national government.
