It was declared an independent municipality on May 27, 1854, from Jagna by the Spanish Superior Government in Manila, through its representative Voraledez. It was Voraledez who renamed this town from its old name Sinugbuan to what it is presently known today, as an expression of gratitude to Fathers Victor Garcia and Narciso Hernandez, then Parish Priests of the towns of Loay and Guindulman, respectively. These two Spanish Friars were instrumental in the realization of the residents desire to be independent from Jagna.
The town is home to the sacred burial cave of Kalagan.
