Bacolor is a municipality in the Philippines in the Pampanga Province .
During the occupation of Manila by the British East India Company , Bacolor was the seat of government of the government-in-exile of the Spanish Governor General of the Philippines Simón de Anda y Salazar from 1762 to 1764 . During this time the offices of the provincial administration were temporarily transferred to Factoria (today's San Isidro in the province of Nueva Ecija ).
Bacolor was the seat of the provincial government of the Pampanga Province before and after that until the relocation of the provincial government to San Fernando City in 1904.
The place was buried in 1995 by a devastating lahar (volcanic mudslide) that moved in the bed of the Pasig River towards the place and was a consequence of the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991.
