History
Established in the year 1600, Casiguran was the first missionary parish of Sorsogon. When the Spaniards first set foot in this part of Luzon in the 1570s, Casiguran was considered as their center of Kabikolan.
In 1583, the Franciscan missionaries took over the evangelization work started by the Augustinians.
The 1818 census showed 1,023 native families paying tribute and they were coexisting with 28 Spanish-Filipino families in the area.
