History
On June 14, 1956, the municipality of Lapinig was formed out of portions of nearby municipalities of Gamay and Oras. It was then part of the undivided province of Samar. It initially consisted of barrios Cagamotan, Can Maria, Canomanio, Catumsan, Look, Lapinig (municipal seat), Potong, and Pio Del Pilar, and sitios Cahagwayan, Mabini, and Palanas. In 1965, as a result of the partition of Samar, Lapinig became part of the newly established province of Northern Samar.
