History
The Municipality was established in July 1961 by virtue of Executive Order No. 423 dated 14 March 1961. Its mother town is the municipality of Trinidad which also was formerly barrio Ipil of the Municipality of Talibon. The seat of government in the San Miguel was formerly Cambangay Sur which was formerly a part of Talibon when the latter became a pueblo during the Spanish regime.
The area that now serves as the town site was once a forested region abundant in wildlife. During the early years of the American period, a small number of settlers migrated from Ipil, a settlement located to the north along the Ipil River. In search of better opportunities, more migrants gradually moved into the area, with the majority coming from the municipality of Loon.
San Miguel got its name from St. Michael the Archangel, the town's patron saint.
