History
The beginnings of this town can be traced back from the date it was made a visita of Milaor. The town of Pamplona was founded on May 8, 1817. It first started as a settlement west of the Bicol River, then it grew to become a Sitio called Patong. The name was changed to Pamplona by a retired Spanish military officer who resided in the place and named it after his native city in Spain - Pamplona, capital of the province of Navarre.
Pamplona officially became a parish on May 8, 1885, which coincided with the date of the town's celebration honoring their patron saint, Saint Michael the Archangel.
