STO TOMAS CENTRO
Sto. Tomas was one time a big barrio of five sitios, namely: Cabuloan, Camanggaan, Camindoroan, Calanutian and Centro. Sto. Tomas were inhabited by settlers from the Ilocos provinces and La Union. Prominent among the migrant and adventurous Ilocanos were the Mariano, Rodrigo, Agpasa, Sermonia, Hermano, Aquino and others who established their homes beside the Agno River with farming and finishing as their primary source of livelihoods . It was a bustling community along the river and was named by the faithful and religious inhabitants as Barrio Sto. Tomas in honor of Santo Tomas and became their patron saint.
In the 60’s the PACD creation of barangays to intensify countryside development divided the big barrio into five separate barangay with Sitio Centro becoming Sto. Tomas Centro. It is bounded on the north by Brgy. Camindoroan; on the south by Brgy. Camanggaan and Cabuloan; on the east by Brgy . Malilion; and on the west by the Agno River.
Sto. Tomas Centro is the most populated barangay among the five barangay which composed the Sto. Tomas District and often called as the 5C barangays. As the name implied, Sto. Tomas Centro is the center of the whole district in which the elementary and high schools are located. Presently it is composed of three sitios, namely: Sitio Aquino, Sitio Laud and Sitio Parking. Farming is the primary source of living of the people with palay, corn, tobacco and vegetables as their main crops. Other sources of income are pottery making, fishing, bamboo craft and livestock-raising.
