History
Like any other municipalities in the province, Bombon also started as a barrio or visita. It was dependent on the older town of Quipayo for nearly 240 years, now a barangay of Calabanga. It became an independent town with the arrival of the American military government on February 11, 1900, but upon establishment of the U.S.-controlled Insular Government of the Philippine Islands in 1903, Bombon was annexed to Calabanga, then made a barrio of Magarao.
It was again made a separate municipality through Executive Order 251 dated July 27, 1949, signed by President Elpidio Quirino. Appointed officials at the time were José Buenagua Sr, Mayor; Juan Nale, Casiano Aburro, Manuel Rojo, and Julián Sumangid, Councilors.
In 1993, by E.O. 102 of President Fidel V. Ramos, Bombon was included in the creation of the Metro Naga Development Council together with the towns of Bula, Calabanga, Camaligan, Canaman, Gainza, Magarao, Milaor, Minalabac, Ocampo, Pamplona, Pasacao, Pili, and San Fernando.
The Leaning Bell Tower found in this municipality serves as a historical attraction. Bombon celebrates its Foundation Anniversary every August 13.
