History
Before the middle of the nineteenth century, the islands that compose the municipality were uninhabited. Only occasionally did seafarers and fishermen use the coast as safe havens.
Andres de la Cruz Cacho, fondly called in Bolinao as Andales Kulayo, discovered a vast tract of land suitable for grazing and fertile lowlands, and an abundant spring for agriculture. It was he who brought families from the town of Bolinao aboard a big boat and dispersed them on the island of Cabarruyan in 1842. The settlers rapidly spread across the island.
On May 10, 1842, the pioneers landed on what is now the barrio of Dolaoan, put up a settlement, and chose San Miguel Arcangel as their patron saint. On May 25, 1842, they established Carot and Cabungan, with Santa Lucia as the common patroness of the two settlements. Later, on June 1, 1842, Tondol was founded. Sablig and Macaleeng were settled later that month.
