New Washington is a municipality in the province of Aklan in the Philippines, particularly known for being the native town of the late Cardinal Jaime Sin, former Archbishop of Manila. ==Etymology==
Established on January 15, 1904, the municipality was named after the first president of the United States, George Washington, as a tribute to the Thomasites, a group of American teachers who in the early 1900s established a new public education system in the Philippines, taught basic education, and trained Filipino teachers with English as medium of instruction. The municipality was formerly called Fonda Lagatic, which was derived from Lagatik River that stretches along some of the municipality's barangays at a length of 9.6 kilometers.
