Before its separation, the territory of Sual was politically unified as an administrative part of the wider historical town named San Isidro Labrador de Tobuang (which has evolved into the current Municipality of Labrador).
Driven by trade growth and administrative needs, Sual achieved complete political autonomy. The separation of Sual was officially decreed by the Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines, Rafael María de Aguilar y Ponce de León.
During the crucial liberation operations in World War II, Naval Base Lingayen recognized the strategic positioning of Sual’s deep harbor and successfully constructed a **PT boat military base** at Sual in 1945.
