Ang bayang ito na may 7,805 na mamamayan at 1,500 bahay ay tinawag na San Isidro ng mga Kastila noong 1845. Ang mga tanim ay tabako, mais at palay. Naging kapital ng Nueva Ecija noong 1852–1912. Naganap dito ang unang sigaw ng Himagsikan nang magpaputok si Manolo Ventus, isang katipunero, bilang hudyat kay Heneral Llanera na lusubin ang mga Kastila noong Setyembre 2, 1896.
