History
In the late 1940s, the locals, headed by forester Julian Avellano Sr., initiated a petition to create the municipality. It came into fruition with the help of Tayabas's 1st district Representative Fortunato Suarez and Quezon Governor Gregorio Santayana.
On July 21, 1949, the barrios of Anoling, Banglos, Batangan, Magsikap, Maligaya, Minahan, Katablingan and Pamplona, then part of the municipality of Infanta, were separated and constituted into a new and separate municipality known as General Nakar, by virtue of Executive Order No. 246 signed by President Elpidio Quirino.
