==History==

Estancia was originally a [[ranch]] for a wealthy [[Spaniard]] named Rodrigo who married a local woman. Estancia is not known for its agricultural products nor [[livestock]] but rather for its location as it is adjacent to [[Carles, Iloilo|Carles]]' 's impressive [[Marine (ocean)|marine]] resources. Estancia has a fishportfish port and a [[pier]] - these being one of the most developed in Northern [[Visaya]]s, a banking industry, [[cable television]], a [[hospital]] (adjacent only, that belongs to the Municipality of [[Balasan, Iloilo|Balasan]]) and [[resort]]s.

Estancia is known around the country sang ka gagoh mow hahah as a center for [[commercial fishing]], so much so that it shares to carries the name Alaska of the Philippines. The name “Alaska of the Philippines” reflects back from the early 1900s up to pre-World War II when major commercial fishing activities waswere within Carles fishing ground and a small portion of Estancia water territory, with bountiful catches, running out a place to process and preserve their catch ended up rotting by beaches. Commercial fishing boats from Cebu, Capiz, Samar, Leyte, Masbate, and Negros came to Carles to fish. As a testament to its location adjacent to Carles' bountiful marine resources. The reason for this is that Carles lies in the Visayan Sea [[triangle]], an imaginary triangle extending from the provinces of Iloilo, Negros, Cebu, Samar, and Masbate. This triangle is a part of the "Sulu-Sulawesi Triangle" of the [[Sulu Sea]] and neighboring [[Indonesia]] where a large concentration of marine organisms coupled with climate conditions support a massive [[marine ecosystem]]. Various commercial species are harvested along Carles' waters, namely [[mackerel]], [[barracuda]], [[sardine]]s, [[shad]], [[pompano]], [[grouper]], [[squid]], [[cuttlefish]], [[shrimp]], [[prawn]]s, [[Animal shellExoskeleton|shell]]s, [[seaweed]] and others, these all are catchescatch from Carles' water territory and brought to fishportsfish ports of Estancia and Bancal, Carles.

The method predominantly used are [[seine fishing|purse seining]], [[trawling]] and gill netting as these are suited for the relatively shallow waters (up to 60 fathoms) of the Visayan Sea.

However, as of recent years, [[pollution]], heavy [[overfishing]], and irresponsible fishing practices have slowly diminished the once abundant fish stocks of Estancia, and now problems like diminishing catches and unpredictable weather are beginning to surface. These factors have raised awareness in the [[government]] as well as the [[private sector]] and currently an artificial [[reef]] is off the shore of Brgy. Paon in an attempt to provide juvenile [[fish]] with shelter in hopes of restocking these once populous waters. For now, Estancia is experiencing an influx of investments as Gaisano Grand put up their first mall in the 5th District of Iloilo, also Prince Hypermart and some mallmalls like CityMall shows interestsinterest to come in.
