The original settlers of San Quintin were called the "Ubilaos", believed to be a fierce and man-eating tribe who inhabited the place at the close of the 17th century. When the Philippines was under Spanish Regime, failing to convert them into Christianity, the Spanish soldiers and missionaries who went to the place had to left it and once more rendered it uninhabitable.

       

        During the close of the 18th century, there was an exodus of immigrants from the coastal town of Ilocos Sur and La Union to the town. The "Ubilaos" and the other minority tribes were out witted by the new comers who forced them to evacuate to the hinterlands of the town.
