History
The year 1818 census shows that Payo (Now Panganiban) had 644 native families and 17 Spanish-Filipino families.
On January 1, 1921, Governor General Francis B. Harrison signed into law Executive Order No. 55 officially segregating the municipality from Viga; thenceforth was called Panganiban, in honor of José María Panganiban, whose relative – Jose Blanca Panganiban – stood as sponsor during the inauguration.
