In early 1860, four family heads from Magaspac, Gerona—Don Juan Sagun, Don Pedro Sapon, Don Victoriano Avillanosa, and Don Agustin Germinal—fled their homes to escape the wrath of Spanish curate Fr. Modesto Perez. Traveling north, they reached Sitio Caarosipan near Morong Creek, but soon moved to higher ground at Sitio Payacan (now Barrio Capaoayan) because of flooding.

Drawn by the area’s fertile land, more settlers from Gerona, Paniqui, and Ilocos Norte (notably from Paoay) joined them, increasing the community to 64 families in just two years. The sitio became a barrio, with Don Antonio Longa appointed as its first teniente del barrio (1860–1862). They later renamed the barrio San Ramon in honor of St. Raymund Nonnato and Fr. Ramon Villanova.

The residents worked together to develop the land, build homes, and grow an agricultural community. Strong Ilocano values of cooperation and resilience helped create a close-knit population that endured the hardships of pioneer life. Over time, San Ramon grew into a thriving settlement.

A successful Chinese merchant later played a key role in advocating for San Ramon to become an independent town. After his death, his adopted son Vicente Tintiangco continued the effort. On July 1, 1875, San Ramon officially became the Municipality of Moncada, named after the influential Moncada family from Valencia, Spain. Don Sinforoso Marquez served as its first gobernadorcillo.

In recognition of his contributions, Don Vicente Tintiangco was posthumously awarded a diploma of honor and a medal of merit by the Gobernador y Capitán General de Filipinas, Don Joaquin Jovellar y Soler, in 1884. His legacy, along with that of the original pioneers, lives on in the enduring spirit and progress of Moncada.
