History
Culaba was part of Caibiran in the beginning. It was elevated into a town, as were the towns of Kawayan, Maripipi and Cabucgayan, upon the visit of General Ambrocio Mojica in his travel to take the role of governor in 1899. It was destroyed at the height of the Pulahanes revolt in 1902 and it was reabsorbed into Caibiran.
Culaba regained its status as a municipality by virtue of Executive Order No. 630 signed by President Elpidio Quirino on October 16, 1953.
Meanwhile, the church was established in 1966.
