History

The history of Goa, Camarines Sur is closely linked to the eruptive activity of Isarog Volcano and its associated hazards. Geological evidence suggests that around 2,000 years ago, a breach in the volcano’s crater led to the sudden drainage of its crater lake, generating a lake breakout flood that affected downstream communities. In the 12th century, an eruption of Isarog Volcano emplaced block and ash flow that buried settlements near Culasi River, significantly altering the landscape and impacting early inhabitants.

Early communities were established in what is now Barangay Salog, then known as the Visita de Salog, which included the barrios of Lalud (present-day Barangay Salog), Himagaan, Matacla, and Payatan. Lalud, located along the banks of the Cagaycay River, was about five kilometers from the present town center.
