Victoria, officially the Municipality of Victoria, is a municipality in the province of Tarlac, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 69,370 people. The establishment of Victoria as a community may be traced back in the mid-1800s when the Spanish regime started to expand north from Manila. It almost happened at the same time when Porac and Floridablanca and Tarlac were formed. In the mid-1800s people started to settle around the swamp or wetland in search for a place where food is abundant. By 1849, houses and pockets of communities were deriving subsistence from the wetland. The biggest sitio was Namitinan, which became part of the earliest barrio, called San Vicente de Canarum, which was formed in 1852.
