Bandera- La bandera de Villalba deriva de su diseo y
simbolismo del escudo del pueblo con la diferencia de los colores plateado y oro
se sustituyen por amarillo y blanco

En campo de sinople, en puente, una villa puertorriquea del siglo
XIX, con seis casas y una iglesia, de plata adjuradas de gules: la
iglesia cargada de un escusn con las armas de la orden del Carmelo; y
en jefe a la diestra, un lucero de plata. Al timbre, corona mural de oro,
de tres torres, mamposteada de sable y adjurada de sinople.

(Simbolismos)

El poblado est representado por las edificaciones y el lucero de alba.
El blasn de la orden del Carmelo se refiere a nuestra Seora del
Carmen patrona de la poblacin. Los dems smbolos aluden al apellido
Figueroa, recordando la bordadura al fundador, Don Jos Ramn
Figueroa. La corona mural es un distintivo de los blasones municipales y
significa la unin y la solidaridad en la defensa de sus tradiciones,
libertades y bien comn.

Ciudad de los Avancinos:

La historia de Villalba comienza hace poco m de un siglo
cuando ste era un barrio de Juana Daz. Segn Fray Iigo Abbad y
Lasierra, el primer historiador de Puerto Rico, el pueblo de Juana
Daz comenz su desarrollo como aldea en el ao 1582.Para esa
poca, los terrenos se dividian en hatos administrados por
diferentes terratenientes. La fundacin del municipio se aprob en
1798, aunque su separacin oficial se Ponce culmin en 1817.

En 1864 la jurisdiccin municipal estaba compuesta por los
barrios Amuelas, Sabana Llana, Cintrona, Capitanejo, Jacaguas, Collado,
Collores, Tijeras, Ro Caas Arriba, Ro Caas Abajo. En 1878
fueron aadidos a la composicin municipal los barrios Vaca y
Emajgual.

Fue durante esa dcada que comenzaron las iniciativas para
separar los barrios de Villalba Arriba y Villalba Abajo de la
jurisdiccin de Juana Daz. El Papa Len XIII, por gestiones de don
Jos Ramn Figueroa, concedi permiso para la construccin de la
nueva parroquia. Sinembargo la fundacin de Villaba se concret el
12 de abril de 1917, fecha en la cual se aprob la Ley #42. El nuevo
municipio qued compuesto por los barrios Caonillas Abajo, Caonillas
Arriba, Hato Puerco Abajo, Vacas,Villaba Abajo y Villalba Arriba.

A lo largo de la dcada de 1920, el Gobierno aprob distintas
asignaciones de fondos para el desarrollo urbano municipal. En 1924 el
municipio compr el terreno para construir la Escuela Mc Jones. Esta
adquisicin contribuy al crecimiento urbano del municipio,aunque no
favoreci el fortalecimiento de sus dbiles finanzas.Una nueva
organizacin territorial de Villaba ocurri en 1948, cuando La Junta
de Palinificacin de Puerto Rico ampli la zona urbana de Villaba
Arriba.

Historia

Sobre el origen del nombre de Villalba, hay que destacar la
relacin con el pueblo de Villalba en la provincia de Lugo en Galicia,
Espaa, por virtud de la vinculacin de la familia Figueroa con este
pueblo espaol y tambin la vinculacin de la visita del Duque de
Alba a este pueblo.

Las gestiones oficiales para la segregacin de
Villalba del pueblo de Juana Daz, como unidad territorial autnoma,
comenzaron en el ao 1916 por gestiones de don Jos Vctor
Figueroa, delegado de la cmara por el Distrito de Ponce desde el ao
1914 al 1917; representante del 1917 al 1924 y senador del 1924 al
1928.

Los fundadores de Villalba fueron los seores Jos
Ramn Figueroa y Walter M^cJones. La gestacin de la
conciencia separatista de la comunidad de Villalba podra remontarse
al ao 1875, cuando el Papa Len XIII (por gestiones de don Jos
Ramn Figueroa y su emisario ante el Santo Padre, don Ramn
Soldevilla), concedi el permiso para la construccin de la
parroquia que luego se llamara de la Virgen del Carmen, en honor a
Doa Carmen Reyes de Figueroa, su madrina y fundadora. Villalba se
convirti en comunidad autnoma por virtud del proyecto de la Cmara
numero 71, representado por el delegado a la Cmara, Don Jos Vctor
Figueroa Reyes, el 23 de marzo de 1917, que se convirti en la Ley 42
el 12 de abril de 1917 y que comenz a regir el 1ro de julio de 1917.

Este muncipio fue fundado el mismo ao que se
aprob la Ley Jones. Esta concedi a los puertorriqueos la
ciudadana e tadounidense.

La primera planta hidroelctrica de Puerto Rcio
se levant en Villaba. Este suceso convirti al pueblo en un
municipio de avanzada, de donde proviene el cognositivo “Ciudad
de los Avancinos

A finales del siglo XIX, en 1895, se establece la
aldea de Villalba por iniciativa de Don Jos Ramn Figueroa Rivera.
Gracias a su extraordinaria fortuna y su gusto por todo lo que
contribuyera al progreso, Villalba tiene el honor de ser el primer
pueblo en Puerto Rico que disfrut de la energa elctrica, telfono,
agua conducida por tuberas y hasta inodoros desde 1893. Claro, todas
estas facilidades se encontraban en la residencia de Don Jos. Tantas
amenidades tena su residencia que se llego a llamar el Versalles
Ponceo.

Su hijo Jos Vctor Figueroa Reyes, elegido para
la Cmara de Delegados en 1914, legisla para la creacin del pueblo
de Villalba. En el proyecto de ley se dispona que los barrios de
Caonillas Abajo, Caonillas Arriba, Hato Puerco Abajo, Hato Puerco
Arriba, Vacas, Villalba Abajo y Villalba Arriba constituyeran la nueva
municipalidad de Villalba, Puerto Rico con capitalidad en el pueblo de
Villalba. El proyecto se convierte en la Ley Nm. 42 del 12 de abril
de 1917, empezando a regir a partir del 1 de julio del mismo ao.

Segn Yolanda Figueroa biznieta de don
Jose Ramn Figueroa , fue el que introdujo a Puerto Rico por primera
vez la electricidad y fue en este pequeo pueblo donde por primera
vez se utilizo.

“Su gentilicio es villabeos. Cuenta el
pueblo con tres embalses por lo que se llama “La ciudad de los
lagos”

“Su Santa Patrona es Nuestra Seora de la
Caridad.

Villaba est localizado en la regin central

Isla.Colinda al norte con Orocovis, al sur con Juana Daz, al

HIMNO

A las orillas del
ro Jacaguas

yace mi pueblo bello y gentil

por sus encantos y buenas aguas

es de la isla grato pnsil.

Tiene mi pueblo muy
pocas

calles, muchas colinas de gran verdor

la dulce caa crece en sus valles.

Pltanos, chinas de lo mejor.

Y si la suerte me
lanza lejos

de los reflejos de mi ideal

sepa mi pueblo idolatrado que

ser amado por siempre igual.

Aunque pequeo
yo no lo olvido

y a otros lugares voy a pasear

sitio tan bello y tan querido

un villabeo no olvidar.

Pedraza in the province of Segovia

Less than an hour from Madrid, this village of medieval cobbled streets will take you back to the 16th and 17th centuries, as many of its mansions date back to that period. Did you know that this village owes its heyday to the production of high-quality fabrics that even compete with those made in Flanders? Particular attention is drawn to the beautiful Plaza Mayor with typical porticoes and terraces where you can have a meal. After that, you should visit the castle and its restored ancient fortress wall. When it’s time for lunch, you’re sure to enjoy the mouth-watering smell from the local grill restaurants. This is one of the best regions for dairy lamb and suckling pig. When is the best time to visit Pedraza? The first two Saturdays of July. At this time, there are nights and a concert with candles. At nightfall, the village is illuminated by thousands of candles and filled with silence, which is interrupted only by the sounds of a violin concerto. We recommend that you make a reservation in advance. nine0013 What other villages in the province of Segovia are worth visiting? Maderuelo, Aillon, Sepulveda, El Muyo, Sotosalbos and others.

Calatañasor (province of Soria, Castile and León)

The province of Soria is one of the least densely populated areas in Europe, and therefore in this small village of only 51 inhabitants (it is located less than half an hour from the city of Soria ), you can feel a particularly deep connection with nature and with people. When you come here, you can admire the scenery of the Milanos River Gorge and, perhaps, see Griffon Vultures on the horizon. You will find houses made of juniper wood with conical chimneys, cobbled streets, a Romanesque church, shops selling typical products such as cracklings, and an original restaurant located in a former dovecote. The pearl of the village is its castle with a donjon of the XIV century. At sunset, stunning views open from here. Not far from the village is the juniper grove of Calatañasor, with trees up to 14 meters high. And just a 10-minute drive is the natural monument of La Fuentona, a mysterious lagoon with crystal clear water. nine0003

Becerril de Campos (province of Palencia, Castile and León)

Becerril de Campos is also called “ village of 9 stars”0014″. Why? Because the first Starlight astronomical monument in the world was created on the site of the former church of San Pedro.

Peñalba de Santiago in the province of León

Time seems to have stopped in this beautiful village. It is located in the so-called Valley of Silence with dense forests, rivers and waterfalls, surrounded by almost untouched nature.
