History


The town was founded in 1829 as one of the villages where rebels were resettled after the Dagohoy Rebellion had been suppressed. In 1903, when the province was reorganized, it was annexed to Balilihan but was made an independent municipality once more on 17 June 1949.[6] At that time there were only 15 barrios within the territorial limits compared to the 22 barangays it has now.
