History
The town was established in 1858 following the separation of the barrios of Magsico, Cabatbatan, Balungag, Sangat, Panadtaran, and Pitalo from Naga, with an initial population of nearly 3,000 people. The town was initially named San Isidro Labrador before changing to San Fernando in honor of a well-liked priest, Father Fernando Sanchez and his namesake saint.
