Talisay was once an estate owned by the
Augustinians . In
1849 , it was converted into a municipality with Silverio Fernandez as its first gobernadorcillo and Pedro Labuca as capitan.
Some accounts claim that Talisay got its name from the ''Magtalisay'' trees which are endemic in certain areas of the muncipality, while others claim that Talisay got its name from a town in
Spain .
During both the American colonial period and
World War II , Talisay served as a haven of colonial military forces. The municipality served as the center of guerilla intelligence operations for the Philippine residence movement in Cebu during World War II. Returning American forces landed on the beaches of Talisay on
March 28 ,
1945 , an event that marked the eventual surrender of Japanese forces on Cebu. That day is now an official holiday in the province of Cebu.
In 2000, the municipality of Talisay was converted into a city.
