History
It is hard to fix a definite date when this town was established as official records were destroyed during the war. However, Francisca Libres Piezas cited in her compilation that the town of Guindulman was already established before the Tamblot Rebellion of 1622. So Guindulman may now be almost 400 years old. The 1818 Spanish census showed that there were 1,500 native families and 6 Spanish-Filipino families in Guindulman.
During the Philippine revolution against the Spanish government, there was no fighting in town reported. The people were submissive to the Spanish authorities.
Guindulman was burned down during the Philippine–American War in 1899. Guerrilla warfare was already resorted to by the local insurgents known as "insurectos". A resistance movement was organized under the leadership of Colonel Pedro Samson whose headquarters was in Monte Verde in the upper part of the town. There was no battle fought in the poblacion of Guindulman, but a memorable encounter took place in the barrio of Cabantian wherein both sides suffer heavy casualties.
