On June 19, 1965, Congress enacted Republic Act No. 4475, creating a city named Palayan as the provincial capital of Nueva Ecija. The name “Palayan” was chosen because of the province's reputation as the rice granary of the country.

The city was expanded by Republic Act No. 6052 on August 4, 1969′ by ceding to its territory the military reservation in Laur, Nueva Ecija, and Fort Magsaysay Cantonment Area in Sta. Rosa, Nueva Ecija. Palayan City is the fourth capital of Nueva Ecija since its foundation in 1801; the first being Baler, followed by San Isidro, and then Cabanatuan.
