History
In 1952, migrants from Manamoc, an island of the Cuyo Archipelago, arrived in a place called Malagnang ( muddy/ maputik) a sitio of Kemdeng, formerly part of Puerto Princesa. The first to arrive were the Dandal brothers Anastacio and Lauro Dandal.
Alberto Radam, and Marcelino Gadiano with their families. After sometime their relatives followed forming a small community which gave rise to the election of Anastascio Dandal as the first Barrio Lieutenant.
As the Agutaynon and Cuyunon populations grew, disagreements arose, particularly over the choice of the town’s patron saint. The Cuyunon favored Saint Vincent Ferrer, while the Agutaynon preferred Saint Isidro Labrador. To settle the dispute, the groups agreed to draw lots. The name of Saint Vincent Ferrer was chosen, leading to the renaming of Malagnang to San Vicente.
The Municipality of San Vicente was created on June 21, 1969 separate from Puerto Princesa and Taytay, by virtue of Republic Act 5821. It officially functioned as distinct municipality on January 1, 1972.
