Bacolor is a 4th class municipality in the province of Pampanga, Philippines. During the British Occupation of the Philippines, it became capital of the exiled government of Governor General Simon de Anda y Salazar from 1762 to 1764. It was the former capital town of Pampanga until the provincial seat of government was transferred to neighboring City of San Fernando in 1904. When it was capital of the Philippines, the provincial offices were temporarily moved to Factoria (now San Isidro, Nueva Ecija). The town was completely buried under several feet of lahar from Mount Pinatubo, with the most devastating flow covering the town center in 1995. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 16,147 people in 3,029 households.
Bacolor is politically subdivided into 21 barangays.
