Wikisource has an original article from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica about:

The name "Bulacan" is derived from the Tagalog word "bulak", which means "cotton". The Spaniards named the town Bulacan due to the abundance of cotton plants growing in the region. The town is one of the oldest in the country. The Augustinians founded the town in 1574 and dedicated it under the patronage of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. Records tell us that Father Agustin del Alburqueque, OSA is the first priest and founder of the town of Bulakan.

By the year 1591, the town of Bulacan had 1,200 tributer or 4,800 persons, one Augustinian convent and one Alcalde Mayor who had jurisdiction over the town of Malolos. Bulacan was originally the capital of the Bulacan province. The capital was moved to Malolos shortly after the American occupation. In the heart of the town stands the centuries old adobe church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in front of it, stand the municipal hall and the park dedicated to Gregorio del Pilar.
