Travelling
Because it was located at the tip of a productive elevated region, and because it was ear the sea, settlers from Papaya, ââ¬Ëlocos Norte came here by sailboat in 1883 to farm, hunt and fish. They were the Negro, McKay, Sciatica, Merman and Vacation families. Other immigrants followed but only after they heard of the easy life these settlers enjoyed within so short of time. The present day inhabitants are also a conglomeration of natives, so with their occupation, distinct characteristics and outlook towards life.What makes them a bit different is their outward hospitality. Guests are usually served with ââ¬Å"bandannaâ⬠(ark it nip wine), ââ¬Å"Killeenâ⬠roasted chicken and barbeques fish. Their chief products are coffee, rice, lumber and coconuts. The official founding of Sanchez Mira was August 20, 1894,a day after the fiesta of Maillot, a barrio of Pomona. The town was named in honor of Manuel Sanchez Mira, a Spanish Brigadier General assigned in the Canaan Valley, u pon a strong recommendation of Hilarious Pulled and Fray Santiago Jugular.Actually, Maillot (Now Sanchez Mira) was declared a town by virtue of Royal Decree on September 14, 1894. For his civic spirit, Hilarious Pulled was appointed gubernatorial. He effected many reforms in the newly created municipality, inning for him and his office the people's esteem for General beautification of Sanchez Mira was also credited to him. In 1895, he was succeeded by Boliviano Irrational whose administration was characterized by unrest because of the Philippine Revolution against America.Captain Catalina Pulled, son of Hilarious Pulled, took over the reigns of the town government sometime in 1898. Among his achievements was the maintenance of peace and order because the people were still cold and unresponsive to the policies introduced by the newly arrived Americans.

They were municipal presidents Vick ie Aquinas (1901), Circle Bengal, Corsair Vacation and Salvation Pulled (1904). It was during the Polio's term that the town hall and church were burned.In spite of this unfortunate incidents, the town progressed steadily under him.

It was through his untiring efforts that all barrios under Sanchez Mira were raised a bit room the equal and filth they suffered since the early Spanish regime. Another stand out leader was Don Eastern Negro, elected in the 1929 elections. His administration built a semi-concrete school building, which he dedicated on August 30, 1930. T was also through him that the monument of Dry. Jose Racial was erected in the town plaza. The rest of the towns leader who did their share for the towns people's good are as follows: Antonio Chaperon, (1932); Eastern Sciatica (1935), Haploid Valuable (1936); Juan Argonne (appointed military mayor by the late President Manuel Rosa on June 15, 1946). Don Cosmos Merman, ex- representative, was mayor when the war broke out on December 5, 1941. Last but not the least was Mayor Ambrosia Brain, another outstanding leader.During his term, the town saw the rise of a prefecture center and the digging of artesian wells.
