History
Angat was originally a part of the old pueblo of Quingua (now the municipality of Plaridel). This was likely due to the Angat River (Rio de Quingua) providing a direct link to Quingua, which was located in the center of an expanse of land covering plains and mountains alike.
Augustinian missionaries built a small visita (chapel) under the Parochial ministry of Paroquia de Santiago Matamoro de Quingua. The visita of Angat was elevated to a parish church in 1683, leading to Angat being established as a new pueblo.
Still standing and legible today is the inscription of the Roman numeral MDCCXII (1712) on the façade of the church, indicating the year the town was established as a regular municipality.
On September 13, 1977, the barangays of Camachile and Pulong Sampaloc were ceded to the newly established municipality of Doña Remedios Trinidad by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1196.
