History
The history of Casanayan is tied with the history of Sibala, the old name of the town of Pilar. It was once part of Aranguel (President Roxas) in 1720, but the latter was reduced to a mere village of Pontevedra in 1750 after people fled from Moro raids. On October 29, 1856, Casanayan became a town and absorbed Pilar as well as Carles, Iloilo. Pilar separated in 1865 and it became an independent municipality, while Carles became a town in 1878.
During American period, Casanayan was annexed to Pilar by virtue of Act No. 720 on April 4, 1903.
