History
The original settlement was by Napo River, but it was transferred by Cogtong Bay in 1880.
Augustinian Recollects arrived to preach to the natives and they erected its parish in 1857. They remained its administrators until they left during Philippine Revolution, yet they returned shortly during the American colonization until the parish was turned over to the diocesan clergy in 1937.
The present-day church was built in the 20th century.
