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 fish 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 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 were 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 catch from Carles' water territory and brought to fish 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.
