History
On January 5, 1863, Sierra Bullones was created a town both in religious and civil aspect, merging the barangays of Pamacsalan, Dinao (Bicao), Panagsagan (Guadalupe), Busoc (Bugsoc), Danicop, and Catagdaan. These villages were carved out from the towns of Candijay, Talibon, Bilar, Jagna, and Batuanan (Alicia).
Initially, the seat of government of the town was at sitio Banlasan of barangay Pamaclasan. Banlasan was later renamed Alegria when it became a separate barrio in 1845. However, constant flooding from Wahig River pushed the residents to transfer their town center further south at barangay Candagas and converted it as Poblacion. Alegria on the other hand was later called Lungsod Daan which means old town.
On March 1, 1869, barangays of Dinao (Bicao) and Panagsagan (Guadalupe) together with other barrios from nearby Bilar were carved out from the municipality to create the town of Carmen.
On June 21, 1956, barangays of Caluasan, Candelaria, and San Miguel were re-organized and taken from the municipality with other barriors from Carmen, Trinidad, and Ubay to form the town of Dagohoy, through Executive Order No. 184 issued by President Ramon Magsaysay.
