History
Manaoag as a settlement was used to be part of present-day San Jacinto in the early 1600s. Later, the Augustinians established a mission as Mission of Sta. Monica, while Dominicans also served the area.
On October 8, 1903, Manaoag absorbed the municipality of San Jacinto within its jurisdiction by virtue of Philippine Commission Act No. 931. San Jacinto was later separated as a re-established municipality on October 31, 1906.
In 1972, Republic Act No. 6485 was enacted wherein twenty barrios were organized as a separate municipality and the province's newest, named Laoac; however, it took long before the establishment was formalized in 1980.
