History
In the early 1920s, the initial groups of settlers from Central Luzon came and founded communities in the area. At that time, Callang was a barrio of the municipality of Gamu. After gaining independence from Gamu in 1948, Roxas (formerly Barrio Vera) became a municipality. One of the barrios of this recently established municipality was Callang. Before 1957, Callang's leaders petitioned for the barrio to become a municipality because of the town's rapid progress. Congressman Delfin B. Albano's bill was approved by Congress. The area had 14,650 residents and earned ₱65,000 annually at the time.
In June 23, 1957, the barrios of Callang, Eden, Babanuang, Cabaritan, Santa Cruz, Malalinta, Mararigue, Calaocan, and Caraniogan of Roxas were separated to form Callang. The municipality was inaugurated on October 12, 1957 with the barangay of Callang as the government seat. In June 19, 1965, the town was renamed as San Manuel by virtue of Republic Act No. 4600. By virtue of Republic Act No. 5869, the barrios of Villanueva and Sandiat in the Municipality of Roxas were made part of San Manuel.
