Barangay Manueva is found north of Barangay Mabilbila Norte, south of Barangay Cabangaran, the Ilocos Range on the east and the rice fields on the west.

The old folks said that in the early days, there lived in the purok a couple named Nicolas and Trinidad, who were engaged as housekeepers of the manager of the Encomienda de Narandan (now Santa). When Trinidad died, leaving three children, Nicolas had to attend to the needs of his small children at the same time, to his duties in the encomienda. His tight situation caused him to marry in no time. When the eldest child cried, she called for her stepmother, “Mama Nueva,” which means “new mother”. The younger children cried to imitate what the eldest child said and called their stepmother “Ma Nueva.” The neighbors and the other people jokingly called the purok of Nicolas, “Manueva”.
