During its long boom years from 1910 to 1976, Fabrica had such amenities as two large movie theaters, a cockfighting arena, a number of medical clinics and drug stores. Many of the other towns and barrios during this time, not as well-off. It also had a vocational school, the Jeanjaquet Institute, operated by a Filipino-Swiss family that taught dressmaking, tailoring and hairdressing. The barrio included three private schools - Faraon Institute, Holy Trinity Academy (closed in 2007) and the Holy Family School.
