Located in the province of Nueva Ecija, the City of Munoz was formerly known as Sitio Papaya. In 1886, it was renamed for Spanish Governor Don Francisco Munoz. The city was incorporated as an independent municipality in 1913. Today, it is known as the Science City of Munoz. The city is home to several agricultural research and technology centers dedicated to agricultural breakthroughs.
This city is home to the province's only university. The University of the Philippines is located in Nunez. The town has an estimated population of 34,000 people. It is a small, but growing city. The population of the city was only two hundred and twenty when the town was founded. The population is expected to double by the time the municipality is fully formed. In addition to being home to a university, Nunez City is the capital of the region's largest business district.
The League of Municipalities of the Philippines has endorsed the cityhood of Munoz. Its growth was spurred by the influx of immigrants and other businesspeople from the United States. The government also endorsed a Master Plan for the area to serve as a science hub. Several other government and private agencies were given copies of the Master Plan. The plan was then distributed to the people of the town, who are now living in the United States.
