History

There is no formal evidence of the town's establishment, but according to some locals, it was established on May 20, 1911, same day with the feast of San Bernardino de Siena (town's patron saint) and church establishment in honor of him.

Fishing still remains as the major industry in the Cabusao town in the first district of the province. There are attempts, however, to improve the rice production which can only be done if the farmlands can be improved despite the salty soil.

In Barangay San Pedro in this municipality, the Bicol Sanitarium can be found, where leprous patients are treated and taken care of.
