=== During World War II ===
During [[World War II]], at [[Balete Pass]] in Nueva Vizcaya, the retreating [[Japanese Imperial Army]] under General [[Tomoyuki Yamashita]] dug in and held on for three months against the American and Filipino forces who eventually drove them out; the pass is now called Dalton Pass in honor of General Dalton, USA, who was killed in the fighting.
