San Esteban, officially the Municipality of San Esteban (; ), is a municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. According to the , it has a population of people.
Etymology
The Spaniards named the pueblo (the equivalent of a municipality in present-day terms) San Esteban (formerly known as Cabagbagototan) purportedly in relation to reports they received about a vagabond named Iban having been stoned to death and beheaded by hostile natives in the place called "Naglawlawayan," which is an early place of worship by the natives and currently the site of the municipal cemetery. "Iban" is the Ilocano equivalent of "Stephen," hence the pueblo being named San Esteban.
San Esteban was founded by Augustinian friars in 1625, but was always attached to Nueva Coveta (present-day Burgos) and the municipality of Santiago until 1911. It was once a visita of Narvacan because of a shortage of ministers.
