Excerpt: Santa Maria is a 3rd class partially urban municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. According to the latest census, it has a population of 28,002 people in 6,817 households. Santa Maria is politically subdivided into 33 barangays. The Municipality of Santa Maria was called a "Purok" in early history.

There are conflicting dates regarding the establishment of this town as an independent parish. Sources available at the Rare Books and Man...
