History
Lopez was originally a settlement called Talolong. The settlement's name was derived from the name of the river that traverses the place.
After 45 years of numerous petitions, Governor General Fernando Norzagaray in Manila approved to separate Talolong from Gumaca on June 30, 1857, during the Governorship of Alcalde Mayor Don Candido Lopez y Diaz. The town was named after him, Lopez. Don Antonio Olivarez was the first gobernadorcillo.
Mayor Nerio O. Ramos was assassinated and the wounding of Vice-Mayor Edgardo Gutierrez on July 22, 1985, by the NPA highlighted the escalating political violence.
On September 27, 2002, the NPA attacked the police station, killing three police officers and injuring another. This attack underscored the prevalence of the rebel group in the municipality.
