History

In 1954, the Representative of the Second District of Negros Occidental, Carlos A. Hilado authored a bill creating the first trade-technical school in the province, the Negros Occidental School of Arts and Trades in the then town of Talisay.

In 1984,[3] Paglaum State College was established by virtue of Batas Pambansa No. 477, which caused the merger of three educational institutions in the province of Negros Occidental: Negros Occidental School of Arts and Trades in Talisay, Provincial Community College in Fortune Towne, Bacolod and the Bacolod City National Trade School in Alijis, Bacolod City.[1] Paglaum is a Hiligaynon word which means "hope".

In 1994, Paglaum State College was renamed Carlos Hilado Memorial State College in honor of Congressman Carlos A. Hilado.

On November 24, 2000, Carlos Hilado Memorial State College acquired another satellite campus with the integration of the Negros Occidental School of Fisheries in Binalbagan, Negros Occidental into the state college.

In June 2019, Carlos Hilado Memorial State College was converted into a state university filed by Representatives Greg Gasataya of Bacolod, Albee Benitez of the First District of Negros Occidental, and Bebot Mirasol of the Fifth District of Negros Occidental.

In April 2022, the school officially changed its name to Carlos Hilado State University after the Commission on Higher Education en banc approved the conversion of the school.[4]
